[NCC] K3LR Recognized

[Jim Breakall]

Congratulations Tim !!!!  This is so very well deserved for a great friend
and a true Ham's Ham.  I wish I could even get just 10% of some of your 
energy
for all the things you do for Ham Radio and Contesting.  Your energy is 
truly
amazing and I am so honored to be a close friend of yours.

Keep up the energy however you do it and keep us always awed with your 
immense
enthusiasm, super technical knowledge, and your friendship to all Hams.

73 and enjoy this great honor.
