[amsat-bb] Thank you

[Kevin M]

 I earned VUCC-Sat #86 in Oct 1998 under my old callsign, AC5DK... Keep in mind though, John, your award means as much today as any of these old awards drawn with hand calligraphy on papyrus. X^D Kinda like that old joke... 'You know what they call the guy who graduates last in his class at medical school??? Doctor.'


73 & congrats!!!  KevinN4UFO
