I invite All to donate the maximum as possible only to AMSAT-DL for
P3E because AMSAT-NA before the launch of OSCAR-10 promised to
the Radio Amateur Community to communicate by satellite much better
than in HF.........Where actually the Amateur Satellite Service have
gone ?
I pull only for AMSAT-DL and P3E because looking to the AMSAT-NA
projects for a HEO at this time, before AO40 died I invested a lot of
money
in my HEO satellite station for nothing.
Hi Domenico,
I agree with you. I've donated and want P3E as well, but the hams that
only have Broken handhelds, Dead batteries, and Rubber ducks need a
satellite too. We must be considerate of those that aren't serious
about satellite. Those who only want to pass grids and prefer the
circus clown CB like atmosphere of an FM bird.

Vince,
That is the most childish bovine crap I have seen in awhile, at
least
equal to any of the circus clown atmosphere you disdain.
P3E is off in the future, I don't even think the sat is close to
ready to launch,
and then you have the launch itself to consider, I want P3E also but I also
understand its not going to be soon.
And yes I have donated to P3E.
On the other hand FOX is NOW we have a means of getting into
space,which
is the biggest hurdle, so it needs funding NOW to get completed and on that
ride.
And yes I have donated to FOX several times, and I don't even get on the
Leo's all that often.
Can LEO's be a zoo at times? sure but so was AO-40 at times also...
I was on AO-40 and remember L band users louder than the beacon, I remember
U band users pumping the AGC and lelia chasing their butt all over the sat.
You don't like LEO's Vince? fine.. then slide over and get the
hell out
of the way because FOX is on the move NOW.
I would prefer to have HEO's and LEO's rather than nothing
and just listen to dead static each day.
