I made my first satellite contact in 1993, a year after I was first
licensed. That first contact was due to a lot of elmering by Walt,
KA6VNU, and the skill of Mel, KW7E, on the other end of the contact.
Since then I have made countless contacts on my own, elmered others
through their first contacts, and learned something from each and every
one. New puzzles were answered by the many generous and knowledgeable
participants in this bulletin board, including you. I've had an
incredible experience, and it's not over yet.
I hardly call that "nothing".
