Here in Italy many satellite users have alrady dismantled their satellite antennas after AO40 died and leaved off to pay their AMSAT membership. Because of the long waiting my AO40 antenna that you can see in QRZ.com is becoming rusty and I am considering to replace it with a 5 meter dish for 1296 MHz EME I come the the same conclusion NO HEO no more AMSAT-NA members, and no more sustainable amateur satellite mass operators. BTW I pull for P3-E or a GTO satellite from AMSAT-DL as you can read in the official following document: http://www.southgatearc.org/news/september2012/amsat_dl_statement.htm 73" and take care i8CVS Domenico _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
