[amsat-bb] Re: Dayton Hamvention

[James Luhn]

Thank you to everyone who responded to my Dayton request.  My next step 
in my Dayton adventure will be to "get on the list".  I am a new kid on 
the block with regards to satellites.  For 50 years I kept thinking that 
it was impossible for me to work through a satellite. One day I got up 
enough nerve to try. OMG, talk about excited. My first contact through 
AO-51 (R.I.P.) was better than my first novice contact in 1961 when I 
was 11 years old.   I have good shoes but I'm afraid I will need a 
scooter due to some serious nerve issues. HA, HA, reserved that too. I 
am dressed up (official AMSAT shirt and name badge too) and ready to go.

73,
