$100 now and $100 later is a nice idea. But to a project manager that might mean "there is no guarantee that 2nd $100 will be available". But it is a good start..
Should we expect a note from our AMSAT-NA treasurer with a "call for donations" and a public website to monitor donations from members by region and other statistics ? Those metrics will be desirable for motivation to "pay up" and get recognition in the process. How has it worked in the past ? -samudra, N3RDX On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 7:45 AM, Jeff Davis <stuck...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 3:42 PM, Samudra Haque <samudra.ha...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> if a gross estimate of $200,000 is needed for a stand-alone cubesat >> the average per capita support required from these active amsat-na >> members would be: $200,000 divided by (50% of 3800) = $200,000 / 1900 >> = $263 or so. > > Or perhaps a bit more realistically ... we need 1000 people to donate > $100 this year, and $100 next year. > > Far and away the best bargain to come out of *any* AMSAT organization > in the 21st century! > > 73 de Jeff, KE9V > _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
