Hi Tony! > Fantastic work Patrick!
Thanks! And thanks to all who have sent similar messages, either here on the -BB or direct to me. I have tried to keep up with the messages, but I may have missed one or two while trying to do my day job. :-) I'm an I.T. guy, not a lawyer. Navigating the processes for dealing with the US and Cuban governments has been a learning process - one I have had to figure out quickly. This process is not clearly documented on either side, and some of the documentation that is available online was not correct. I was surprised to get Hector's phone call this morning as I was leaving for the office. But I'll take that surprise, as the time was running out for this to happen. I know Hector will have fun on this trip. He'll also take the post- Symposium tour of the Kennedy Space Center. He will have a pretty full schedule for his time in Florida, but I'm sure he will enjoy it. Lots of pictures - and video - will be coming. Who knows - we may even be able to rig up some sort of Echolink round-table chat while he's in Orlando, opening up the conversation to more hams than just those attending the Symposium. 73!
