I have been "around" for a LONG time! Have been a member of AMSAT since the first month it was formed. Therefore, I have seen the newsletter go through several transformations in content and format. Some of those transformations were better than others. However, since AMSAT is a voluntary organization, the quality of both the content and format of the newsletter is wholly dependent on the quality of articles submitted for publication and the work of volunteers. Basically, the higher quality the articles submitted, the higher the quality of the content.

Hello Ryan, We are aware of the lack of timely AMSAT Journals and apologize to the membership. We have had some difficulties getting the Journals put together during this transition period between editors. We discuss this every month during the executive teleconferences. We are working on a number of different approaches and will certainly discuss it again during the BoD meeting next week. Expect some word soon. Thank you for your patience. _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
