Hmmm ... The survey opened up in September. The Symposium was in November. There's been survey data entered since November ... Just being inquisitive. Like with the volunteer work I do for NASA/ARISS, we LOVE the data!

[amsat-bb] Re: HNI4/AJ5C follow up
HI Bob, Well, if we can get the locals on the east coast to be quiet for a minute we could have made it. I heard you a couple of times on the 19:10 pass today, and gave a couple of calls. But the locals were covering everything up. I had a 4 degree elevation pass on that one. 73, John, K6YK On Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:43:15 -0400 Bob Herrell writes: > Good contacts for today, Jan 16, 2012 on AO-27 1907z pass: K0BAM, > N8RO, > WA4NVM, and AC0RA. de Bob HI4/AJ5C > ___ > Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

But since the US FCC has turned into nothing more than a bunch of political The FCC is not relevant to my interests. I love breaking FCC regulations. The biggest issue that causes recession and then depression in the economy, is when the value in the economy out strips the cash available to support that value. When everyone buys the "cheapest" item, and it is a defective item, that then doesn't live long enough in the economy, that can cause people to replace it, in an emergency purchase, with a "credit purchase", which then presses the economy with more value, and less cash. In our current economy, things like "cheap TVs", "cheap PCs", and "cheap appliances", in general, can result in the economy needing to "inflate" faster than the "printing" of money is occurring in our "world banks". There is plenty of reason to pay the more expensive price, especially, if it is for something that will last longer in the economy, especially, if you resale it. Certainly, if our economy inflated faster, we could all just spend money on all kinds of cheap junk, and keep everyone busy, working all day creating as much cheap stuff as we could. But, the economy of the world, is really designed to work that way, and more importantly, all the off shore manufacturing, is moving "our cash" out of reach of our "local economies", and that, in the end, is what creates recession, which is then nearly impossible to correct "overnight", because the spending habits and the supply chains are not also being restructured to keep "injected cash" in the local economy, and thus it doesn't help anyone, except the offshore economies of the producers.

[amsat-bb] Model Rocket Booster Engine for Picosatellite

The Delfi-n3Xt approach uses nitrogen as the propellant and there are other approaches that would also be safe to fly. 73 Trevor M5AKA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
