Re: [amsat-bb] Apathy?

[Freeman Pascal <pascal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In my business (software development for the US government) the last  
two months of the fiscal year are hell.  This year was no different.   
I haven't been posting or on the sats because I have been working 70  
hour weeks for the last eight weeks.  My project went to production  
last night - I can finally breath a sigh of relief and take a bit of  
hard earned vacation.

I am hoping to move forward on my tower project, work some DX, and  
some satellite contacts on my time off.  Hopefully, I'll hear you on  
the air.
