Bob, Congrats and keep up the great interest into sats. I came back from a hamfest yesterday after showing our flag at an AMSAT table with several older AMSAT members telling their stories about satellite contacts on the HEO's. They are not presently members and I couldn't convince them to return to our ranks. They said they sold their satellite equipment as they are not around to make a contact when the satellites are overhead. One even said he can't get up at 2am anymore just to talk to the 2 guys on the satellite. Please go to hamfests and club meetings to gloat about your contacts and try and re-excite a new membership or two....no memberships equals no new satellites. Thanks, Dee, NB2F
