Hardly even a debate on specific points.\n\nWhat is happening here is genuine concern for our future, and well founded.\nNot only is AMSAT and ham radio facing uncertain times, the entire fabric\nof modern culture seems wobbling around like it may ALL come tumbling down.\nStimulus, bailouts, layoffs, foreclosures - everything is connected to most\neverything else - always has been, always will be.    So much of all this\nchurn has been brewing for years, but no one really wanted to acknowlege,\nor take the gumption to creatively start solving the problems.\n\nNow we have to. None of us are ready to just lay down and say \"I quit\".\n\nBut - the bright side is that humanity solves its' toughest problems when\ntimes get hardest. That can work to our advantage, not only for AMSAT,\nbut for everything else that is connected to all this 'other stuff'.\n\nThe early hamsats got built and launched because a handful of hams had\na blistering passion, and didn't stop until they had accomplished what\nhad been previously un-done. At the time I think a popular 2m rig was\nthe ol 'Benton Harbor LunchBox'.    The biggest thing I see missing today\nis this 'blistering passion' - not just in AMSAT, not just ham radio, but\nmost everything that the masses do. The general public has been so numbed\nby 500 channels of nothing on TV, fast food on every corner, convenience\nin every WalMard - no one gets excited about 'stuff' anymore. It is easy\n(for me at least) to spot those who have some passion. They get stuff done,\nthey promote worthwhile things, they teach and encourage others, etc, etc...\n\nI recognize many many folks on AMSAT-BB that exhibit passion - Great !!!\n\nI've always felt that the AMSAT community is one of the most passionate\ngroups I've ever worked with. Unfortunately, victims of our own success,\nwe now find a lot of folks who have gotten on the satellite bandwagon\nbecause it IS fun, and it HAS ignited some long lost passion - but not\nenough of these folks recognize the need to support the effort, not only\nwith money - but with volunteer talent and recruitment. I really like Tim's\nchallenge to rapidly ramp-up our membership. Talk it up ! Get em joined-up !\nThis IS actually rocket-science, and is hardly an arm-chair sport yet.\nThis IS still a bleeding-edge of technology, and we need a few more folks\nwilling to take an arrow or two 'for the team' ...\n\nNot that we should have to pay-as-you-go, but I'd suspect that each of us\nknows at least one satellite operator that has never paid a red cent, or\ncontributed anything towards this incredibly fascinating, outrageously\nexpensive, blatently addicting passion of operating with satellites.\n(Well, unless you include the purchase price of some personal radio gear.)\nIn years past I shelled out plenty of cash, and had sweat equity in big\nantenna arrays, and I do miss them. But I'm looking forward to learning\nmore about S-band, and X-band, and beyond if necessary - by building some\nTx/Rx converters to front-end existing equipment. Just like long ago\nwhen I learned so much by building some Tx/Rx converters to work 2m with\nmy FT-101... the future is coming - again - still . . .\nAnd these tiny antennas are so much easier to build and aim - wow.\n\nAs usual, I had not intended to go off on such a rant, but sometimes my\npassion boils over, and quite often it becomes infectious, and someone\nelse picks up on that passion, and passes it on.    We need more collective\npassion - as THAT is what drives these discussions, fleshes out\nalternatives,\ngets through the chaff and cuts into the kernel. By participating in these\ndiscussions, WE are helping drive the future of AMSAT, and in the same\nsense - ALL of ham radio.   Who knows - maybe the future of all humanity !\n\n   73 for now, and Thanks for listening  ...   /;^)\n-- \n  <- Licensed in 1976, WB5RMG = Alan Sieg * AMSAT#20554 ->\n  <- http://www.somenet.net * http://wb5rmg.somenet.net ->\n  <- http://www.linkedin.com/in/alansieg * My 'Day Job' ->\n\n\n\n",
