    "content": "Greetings from Hot and Humid North Texas,\n\n \n\nAs I am sure everyone has heard, Ed Long, WA4SWJ is retiring from his duties\nas editor of the AMSAT Journal. Ed has done an outstanding job providing the\nAMSAT membership with a quality publication for over 8 years and we all owe\nhim a debt of gratitude. Effective with the next issue of the Journal I will\nbe assuming the responsibilities as Editor of the AMSAT Journal. Ed will be\na hard act to follow, but I will do my best to continue to meet the high\nstandards he has set in producing AMSAT's flagship publication.\n\n \n\nTo those of you who have already contributed articles and other material,\nthank you very much. I am very appreciative of your support. There will\nalways be a need for material to publish in the Journal. My experience with\nAMSAT dates back to the mid 70s and I recall previous editors of the Journal\nconstantly expressing their need for material and in today's Internet based\nworld where information instantaneously flows freely around the globe, the\nJournal, as with other publications, is constantly competing for material.\nSo please keep our flagship publication in mind and I can assure you that\nany material you would care to submit would be greatly appreciated. \n\n \n\nIf you don't have experience in writing an article, don't be intimidated -\nI'm new at this too! So, we will learn together. On the other hand AMSAT has\nmany members with technical or academic backgrounds with lots of experience\nwriting articles and papers. I urge these folks to share material with us as\nwell. One of the great things about AMSAT is the opportunity for all of us\nto be exposed to interesting topics related to our hobby and science in\ngeneral and to constantly learn about a wide variety of immensely\ninteresting topics often times from leading experts in their fields.\n\n \n\nPublishing a quality publication is hard work, much like building a\nsatellite itself, it requires a team working together to insure that the\npublication reaches the membership in a timely manner which contains\ninformative and useful content.  In my view the Journal should address a\nnumber of topics on a regular basis. These topics include:\n\n \n\nOrganizational news\n\nSpacecraft Engineering Topics\n\nSpacecraft Operational Topics (Command and Control, mission analysis etc,)\n\nSpacecraft Utilization (What's on the birds, what are we learning?)\n\nHands-On Projects for ground station applications\n\nEducational News\n\nAmateur Radio Astronomy\n\nEME\n\nHigh Altitude Balloon Flights\n\nGeneral Space Science Topics.\n\n \n\nI am sure there are others, and if you have ideas, please let me know. To\nbest serve the members, I would like to enlist the services of individuals\nwho would be willing to serve as a column coordinators for each of the\ntopics identified above. All too often, the folks building the spacecraft,\nraising the money to build them and running the organization itself are the\nsame people that end up writing material for the Journal. While some of this\nis to be expected, these folks are already highly tasked and as we say in\nTexas \"we need a few more horses to pull the wagon\".\n\n \n\nPlease consider volunteering to be a member of the AMSAT Journal publication\nteam. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated. \n\n \n\nPlease feel free to contact me with your ideas and suggestions.\n\n \n\nI look forward to serving as  your Journal editor.\n\n \n\n73,\n\n \n\nDoug, W5BL\n\n \n\n \n\n",
