[hpsdr] AMSAT award

[Eric Ellison]

Bob/Folks

I am deeply flattered by this award, and wish to express my appreciation. I
will continue to support and provide Teamspeak for as long as it is useful
to the amateur radio community. I also look forward to my participation in
TAPR, in the future. 

The past three years have, for me, been the most exciting times I have ever
had in amateur radio! This is in a very large part due to you, the "Best of
the Best" in the hobby, contributing of your fantastic talent to advance the
state of the communications art. Communications is the hallmark of amateur
radio. VOIP via Teamspeak is another tool which fits the purpose of
leveraging diverse talents. 

The biggest thrill has been actually meeting you folks worldwide, *eyeball*
You are the finest kind! I expect to continue that in the years to come!

Viva Eagle! Viva amateur radio!

Thanks
Eric - AA4SW

Subject: AMSAT award

It pleases me greatly to announce that Eric Ellison has been presented 
with an award from AMSAT.   It is sometimes easy to take for granted 
what seems to many to be a small thing.  In the case of AMSAT,  Eric's 
work made virtual meetings not only possible but easy.  AMSAT has 
literally run its Eagle project using VOIP facilities which Eric set up 
on behalf of the technical groups active today in amateur radio in 
satellites, technology, and in particular software defined radio.  AMSAT 
and TAPR both recognize Eric's work,  AMSAT with the award and TAPR 
membership with Eric's election to its board of directors.  Someday 
Eric's TEAMSPEAK server will be universally recognized for the 
spectacular impact it has had and will continue to have.

Eric, the award is in the mail from the AMSAT office along with a gift 
membership in AMSAT for a year.

Jim Sanford, Eagle project manager, and I and the entire organization 
give you our thanks for your generosity and help.

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat.
You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los
Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly
the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there.
The only difference is that there is no cat." - Einstein
