If you let your membership lapse, I try to find your original number in the
database. If found, you will receive your old number. If not, you will get
a new number.

In other words, might be wise to include your name as originally used

Stefan, in the United States, we are lucky to get 20 per cent to vote in many
local, statewide, and national elections.
It is embarrassing. It is irresponsible.

How will we call you when the ice forms over hell or how do we send a signal 6
feet underground?
If you want an AO 40 bird so bad, then make a couple million dollars or win the
lottery and send it to AMSAT or find a way to help the Germans launch
P3D...it's been sitting around.
Nah...bitching
the difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer!

Isn't this the reason why hams end up on HF? Any mode that requires
infrastructure to operate is going to be this way. I'm sure you've
experienced this on repeaters if you used them. Perhaps we need a
kickstarter for the launch of P3E.

Hi Domenico,
I am not sure if I understand your post:
As soon AMSAT-NA will work or cooperate with AMSAT-DL to built a new HEO
satellite I will call Martha and I will pay all my old duties to cover my
previous not covered years of membership.
As a matter of fact we don't need a new HEO, we have

I made my first satellite contact in 1993, a year after I was first

Since then I have made countless contacts on my own, elmered others
