What has happened to amsat australia ?
Has it died a natural death ?
It's still there, but not as active as their EU or NA counterparts. Membership is also a lot more vague and nebulous. However, they do run a monthly net on Echolink on the second Sunday of the month on the *AMSAT* conference. I think the time is either 0400z or 0500z. I'd have to dig up a copy of AR for the net details. I tend to keep forgetting the net, and Sunday afternoons is usually inconvenient for me in any case. My best windows are in the morning. Years ago, I used to participate in their HF net from time to time, which still runs as the "unofficial" HF net (0900z I think) on the same Sunday as the Echolink net.
