The AMSAT Web site has gone down hill\nsince Emily retired from maintaining it and no one else volunteered. The\nAMSAT Store has been down for quite a while. Both of these are being fixed.\nThe store will be back on line at its new host location in a matter of\nhours. Soon we will start a total revamp of the Web site to make it easier\nto maintain and to allow the data to be updated by those who have the latest\ninformation. \n\n \n\nI will be speaking with Gould this evening and I will pass along you\nconcerns about Area Coordinators. AMSAT is very grateful for the service of\nthese ACs and we try to provide them with all the information and support we\ncan. I'm sure we can do better, however.\n\n \n\nI have not fired anyone. I have asked three team leaders to take a 'time\nout\" from being team leaders to let their disputes cool down while a\npresidential advisory commission looks into reorganizing the engineering\ndepartment to make it more effective and to focus the team efforts on\ntangible results. I have asked all project volunteers to keep working. I\nhave spoken to Jim Sanford at length during this period of change. He has\nprovided valuable support and advice but is not available to step into an\nactive role yet because of the pressures of his real world job. \n\n \n\nYour statement that \"you folks are so enduring to yourselves\" shows a\ndisappointing lack of understanding. We are volunteers who try our best.\nSometimes we do well, which almost no one notices, and sometimes we make\nmistakes, which generates plenty of comments. In the end we are just Hams\nwho are trying to do something special and getting precious little in\nreturn. It is a thankless job. If you would like to know more or volunteer\nfor an influential position please contact me off line. \n\n \n\nRick\n\nW2GPS\n\nAMSAT LM2232\n\n \n\n _____ \n\nFrom: David Smith [mailto:[email protected]] \nSent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 1:38 AM\nTo: [email protected]; Rick Hambly (W2GPS)\nCc: [email protected]\nSubject: Re: [amsat-bb] Re: NAMSATE AND EAGLE PROJECT ARE DEAD!!!\n\n \n\nRick,\n\n \n\nI've been volunteering as an Area Coordinator since 1978 or so. Before that\nI was a Project Oscar member from 1972.. I've never seen this organization\nand the support of A/C's as dysfunctional as it is now! The AMSAT Website is\na disgrace and hasn't been updated in many months. The on line purchasing of\nstuff doesn't work. I was one of the volunteers who worked on the 70 CM\nPrototype Telemetry receiver. I was the guy that put the Excel spreadsheet\ntogether to identify, order and track parts...\n\n \n\nIn any event, from my standpoint, the Area Coordinators haven't had any real\nsupport for years. Information out of the organization is dismal! ... So\nyou've FIRED everyone on Eagle.... I should try to follow politics in this\norganization more closely.... I don't do that.... I think, however that it's\ntime for a change in leadership. When I was one of the individuals working\non the 70 cm telemeter receivers, Jim Stafford was the Project Manager. Jim\nwas an excellent PM. What happened????? \n\n \n\nI think sometimes you folks are so enduring to yourselves, you think you\nhave everything in control and don't realize the support and organization is\ncrumbling around you. And the worst of it all.... YOU let happen and didn't\ndo anything to change things.!!\n\n \n\nDave Smith W6TE\n\n \n\n", "attachments": [] }
