[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite Recordings 2 Year Anniversary

[Tom Schuessler]

Many thanks to John for the encouragement he has been to so many of us to
whom he has been the first or at least one of the first contacts.  John
always uses his big guns to help us little pistols get in the game and that
is the way it should be done.  Before I got my recorder, John's recordings
were invaluable to me in helping me to understand why or why not a
particular pass worked for me.  They were a great learning tool.  

If John decides to hang up the pass recordings archive job, I would hope
that somebody else might pick up the ball and run.  This is a hobby you know
and doing a task on a daily basis can get old after a while.  I would not
blame him if he wanted to hang it up.  

Thanks John for all you have done throughout the years to the Ham Satellite
community.  Hope you get to collect a few hundred more grids someday soon.
