In talking with Robert Sudock, WB6FDF, we realized that this weeks newscast   
   #1280 marks the 35th anniversary of the Amateur Radio Newsline.   
      
   I find it hard to believe that we have survived all of these years and that we   
   are as fervent about what we do today as we were when Jim Hendershot, WA6VQP,   
   and I produced that very first newscast -- then known as the Westlink Amateur   
   Radio news -- some 1   
      
   So from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you who, over the   
   years, have been a part of the all volunteer team that has dedicated itself to   
   bringing these newscasts to air.   
      
   Also, to all of you in our vast world-wide audience who have so graciously   
   supported our efforts these many months, years and decades.   
      
   The promise we make is to once again commit ourselves to continue to bring you   
   the news of amateur radio and personal communications. Also to do our very   
   best to keep improving our air product as we proceed into the weeks, months   
   and years ahead.   
      
   Thank you all for being a part of the Amateur Radio Newsline family. In   
   reality, without you we would have no reason to exist.   
      
   Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF   
   Producer, etc..
