I invite All to donate the maximum as possible only to AMSAT-DL for P3E because AMSAT-NA before the launch of OSCAR-10 promised to the Radio Amateur Community to communicate by satellite much better than in HF.........Where actually the Amateur Satellite Service have gone ?
I pull only for AMSAT-DL and P3E because looking to the AMSAT-NA projects for a HEO at this time, before AO40 died I invested a lot of money in my HEO satellite station for nothing.
Hi Domenico,
I agree with you. I've donated and want P3E as well, but the hams that only have Broken handhelds, Dead batteries, and Rubber ducks need a satellite too. We must be considerate of those that aren't serious about satellite. Those who only want to pass grids and prefer the circus clown CB like atmosphere of an FM bird.
