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.
