The board has made\na decision to move forward with the Eagle communication package and a clear\ncompromise has emerged. For example:\n\n \n\nEagle will have a lot of what was asked for by the membership (see 2004\nsurvey results in the AMSAT Journal Vol 27 # 5). We (the members) asked for\nMode U/V and the board responded with: \n\n \n\nAn SSB/CW (etc.) transponder with uplink on U-band and downlink on V-band.\nSystem design has a goal that it be usable over 75% of the orbit, as well as\na low rate text message system, like SMS. \n\n \n\nIn addition, the membership asked for U/S, V/A and L/S and the board\nresponded with:\n\n \n\nAn SSB/CW (etc.) transponder with uplink on L-band and downlink on S1-band\n(2.4 Ghz), \n\n \n\n.and a lot more.\n\n \n\nThere will always be questions and need for discussions. However, I hope\nthat in the future board members will not keep the membership hostage by\nthreatening to leave if they face criticism. I also hope that members will\nnot anymore accuse elected members of running their own agenda, because face\nit; we all have our agenda and ideas. The difference is that some are\nwilling to work for it as volunteers within AMSAT and move the organization\nand projects forward. \n\n \n\nIt is important to notice that we all elect the board to make decisions.\nThat's what they did. Now that decisions are made we can look forward to\nmake our dreams of a new HEO a reality. All of the recently elected board\nmembers promised to be transparent and communicate their ideas and thoughts\nwith us. In return we need to keep our promise as members to support AMSAT\nand the projects ahead. \n\n \n\nLet's keep our promises to each other and together AMSAT will be what we all\nwant it to be, a place where we can enjoy a great hobby and at the same time\nlearn from each other. It is \"Thanksgiving\" weekend in Canada and I am\ncertainly thankful for all of the amateur radio satellites that \"others\"\nhave made a reality for me to use and enjoy. I am also thankful for all the\nnew birds in planning and construction that again many \"others\" are working\nhard to make into reality. The least I and you can do is to support these\ninitiatives.\n\n \n\n73, Stefan, VE4NSA\n\n \n\n", "attachments": [] }
