[amsat-bb] Thank you! CONUS 488 Grids Completed!

[Fernando Ramirez]

Good evening fellow satelliteers!

Finally, I was able to connect with an operator in FN65!

Today, I had the privilege of working Ken, VE3HLS, on XW-2B during his trip
to New Brunswick. We completed our QSO when the satellite was at 2º for me.

I would like to publicly express my gratitude to Ken for going out of his
way to help bring down the "white whale", and last grid needed in the 488
CONUS.

I want to also thank all the satellite operators that made this possible.
All credit goes to them! Extra thanks to all those who travelled and helped
with multiple grid squares.  This has been a fun and exciting 2 years and 3
months of operating Ham Radio Satellites.

My apologies for the long list. These are the unique callsigns and number
of grids I worked them on:
