Bob.
perhaps you have hit the problem squarely on the head.
I didn't say that. Read it again. I said they will work on and build what they believe in.
Volunteerism is an act of service. Indeed it is the foundation of "service" (no matter if it is the Boy Scouts/FFA or the US military)...the questions are whose interest does one serve when one volunteers and how is ones service perceived. .
From what I am hearing you say, (write) is that the folks who are doing the building on AMSAT satellites are not for the most part serving the interest of the Amateur Satellite community, but what? Themselves?
I think you volunteer a lot for the BSA...I do. When I do that the joy I get out of volunteering is the service...not so much volunteering just for the things that I enjoy.
Are you saying that the folks who build the satellites are doing it for their own self interest?
Iif so..."Houston we have a problem"
