Johann,

I am saddened to hear of the loss of SO-35.  It was really a neat bird and
well loved by all.  Unfortunately, while I have copied APRS data from the
satellite, I never did make a QSO on it.  Oh well....

You guys did great and have a lot to be proud of.  You made everyone happier
with your work.

73 and Good luck on future projects,

Jon
