Subject: HELLO FROM VALERY
GOOD TO HEAR YOU AGAIN.
WE HAVE A LOT FUN BUT NOT TO MUCH TIME.
I AM HAPPY TO RECEIVE YOUR MESSAGES.
I'm READY TO HAVE YOUR ADVISORIES ABOUT HAM RADIO.
73 VALERY.

From Miles to ISS, July 15, 2002

Dear Commander:

That is great news about the Taxi computer. I sent a copy of your memo to Frank. It may be possible to use Taxi Computer for more Amateur Radio projects in the future. If you have time, can you please tell me the Computer model number, memory and operating system?


We are glad you are having fun. We are trying to teach the ham's in the world not to send you too much email. We do not want to take up too much of your time. And your English is very good. I apologize that my Russian is too poor.


73 Miles
