Well Folks:

Its that time of the year that I recognize, hold to the highest 
traditions within the Amateur Radio fraternity, say a BIG thank you to 
the very few friends I have in the hobby, list OWNER/Admin person and 
moderators who have unselfishly watched over the many postings and most 
importantly, to the new members on the list. And also, all the 
contributors who have donated money to support the list OWNER/Admin 
person, who I am sure have struggled throughout the year 2006, to bring 
all the good things and some not so good things [and willing to share 
with us anyway] to the list. The tidbits, the extra mile of technical 
information, the many files uploaded to the list and especially, for me, 
the often times question from the newbie......"how come?".

A BIG thank you to the IRLP owners who have dedicated their Internet 
home PC system, Amateur Radio repeater system and in many cases, a 
simplex radio station to one of the most intriguing and often 
misunderstood communications mediums we are now enjoying in this new 
century.

Thank you from Vail, Arizona and the few users on my UHF repeater system 
who often read the many postings and often share with me their thoughts 
and concerns about the future of Amateur Radio.

May all of you enjoy with your respective family and extended family, a 
really nice Christmas season and a SUPER wonderful and healthy new year 
for 2007.


Best regards,
