Things were a lot different in the 1960's and 70's. In 1961 an Air Force

Those of you who are lapsed Amsat members and will not rejoin until a HEO
is launched really should reconsider. The membership dues
Did all of the people who complain about AMSAT and the lack of this or
that satellite or feature or they way they are built or when do we get
another HEO or how someone failed once, did they all vote?
The complainers need to do more than vote, they need to run for office
themselves.
All
I agree. But its easier to sit on your butt and point fingers. If you
actually do something you have to take responsibility for the failure not
just the success.
I wish the folks who long for the HEO's would solve two problems. Where the
money will come from to build it and where the money will

The reason for my thinking is simple. I was 10 when Gene Cernan walked on
the moon. In case you forgot, he was the LAST an to walk on the moon. I've
been waiting 38 years for it to happpen again. So rather then wait for P3E
or AO-40 part deux I would rather have something up there than nothing at
The way I understand this age old train of thought and I get it a lot from
my local hams when I do a hamfest for AMSAT in my area is that, just like
in many ham clubs, there are a group of people who feel that they are real
hams. Whether it's because they had to pass a harder test ( as in the old

I disagree with the principle of prodding apathetic people to vote. If
somebody isn't willing to do the research, fill out a card, and mail it back,
then why should we go out of our way to get a vote they themselves apparently
don't care about. I'm more interested in the opinions of those who
