Good Evening,
Just my one cent input:
If you use any satellite for either Rx or QSO, you should join AMSAT just to contribute for sending these birds up there, that you use. We may have debates about management competency or vision but it all boils down to get funds/money to send spacecrafts up there which is really costly.
So, if you enjoy QSO’s and/or just have fun listening to the birds please do contribute by being a member or by donation of any AMSAT organization worldwide. If not, its like going to the restaurant (surely more expensive) and not pay the bill but complain about the quality of the food. One can only complain for service not received or bad one if he has to pay for it, else not, so “non-members” or donators have no say or right to complain to my opinion.
Personally I enjoy both the fox series (AMSAT-NA ) and QO-100 (AMSAT-DL) this is why I am a member of both and also donated to both so that we have more birds up there.
I guess above message is clear enough.

Like you not being a member of Amsat is of any interest to any of us? You're just as bad.

Yep and one wonders why I do not join AMSAT. Unless it stops soon I will leave the list (again) for a while since the stuff is of no interest to me anymore. Sounds like the nonsense before the last elections.
