[Ray Keefer <psubs2001@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I've been busy creating the 2004 PSUBS Convention
DVD's. Now that I am done I can wrap up this bit of
business. The winners for the 2004 PSUBS Awards are:

**********************************
The Kittredge Award 
    - Dan H.         Persistance
**********************************
The Archimedes Award 
    - Gary Boucher  	White Paper: Homemade Sonar
Systems
**********************************

Details below contain the comments and who got what
votes. As you can see there was very LITTLE input from
the community :(

**********************************
The Kittredge Award:
 	For designing and building excellence in creating
 	a whole and functional personal submersible.
----------------------------------
- Dan H., United States for his K-350 Persistance.

Vote 1
Dan H. get's my vote.  Dan was very open and sharing
during the contructions of Persistance, also the dive
reports he's been posting are great (very useful if
you
are in the design stage).

Vote 2 
I vote for Dan H. for the Kittredge Award.
...pictures just don't do it justice, it is truly a
work of art!

Vote 3
I would like to vote Dan H. for the Kettredge award.
----------------------------------

- Peter Madsen, Denmark  for Kraka.
Vote 1/2
----------------------------------

- Anders Ljung, Sweden for Malen. 
Vote 1/2
**********************************

The Archimedes Award:
 	For innovative designing excellence of a 
 	specific piece of
 	gear for use in personal submersibles that 
 	spreads knowledge through the group .
----------------------------------
- Gary Boucher  	White Paper: Homemade Sonar Systems
 
Vote 1
Gary's homemade sonar system knocked my socks off. 
Once
I've got an operational sub, this is probably going to
be
one of the first extras I add to it.

submersibles
	designs, operations and applications.
