Joel, As put before, we are the only organization that directly supports Amateur Radio Satellites. Everything we do supports this effort. Those that use the satellites for their fun and DO NOT belong to AMSAT are defeating this effort. Satellites don't magically appear for everyone's benefit. Whenever I give a talk, my bottom line is "I work for donations!" We are striving for the best bang for the buck and putting a satellite in orbit that gives back the most in returns. Pass the hat and pass the solar panels! 73, Dee, NB2F NJ AMSAT Co-coordinator

If you were giving a presentation to amateur radio operators who know little or nothing of AMSAT, what would you list as some of the benefits of being a member of AMSAT? What would be the single most important reason? 73, Joel, W4JBB _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
