Something tells me a while back it was made explicitly clear that the
AMSAT-BB did not reflect the views and agenda of AMSAT-NA. Something to
keep in mind.

Support AMSAT NA not cube sats that we cant work


Seems to me that a big part of these posts is about the capabilities 
of satellite communication, & whilst not really amateur related, it 
is satellite related

I find it hard to support an organisation whose primary role seems to be to 
give a platform to grumpy old men to drivel on and on and on endlessly about 
how "things ain't what they used to be".

Cubesats are the future of amateur satellite work.  If you don't like that, try 
and find a source of cheap flights for something OSCAR-40 sized.  Can you 
afford it?  I sure as hell can't.

Your only hope of getting an AO-40 size bird up is one of the "up and coming" 
space programmes, like Iran or Pakistan.  You've missed the boat with India 
already.
