I hope this is somehow helpful in understanding what AMSAT would really be up against if it wanted to have an independent GEO satellite or consider a sub-GEO drifting orbit.

Thank you Ken, for the rocket scientist's take on it ;-)

It's refreshing to hear someone who actually has sat down and done the maths comment on how easy or hard it would be to put a satellite into a high orbit.
