I am very surprised that you as a Past President AMSAT-NA are asking to this people on this BB about the launch date of P3-E
There are or not official connections between you AMSAT-NA and the BOD of AMSAT-DL ?
In a word...no.
Unfortunately, I no longer have any "official contacts" with either AMSAT-NA or AMSAT-DL.
Since I stepped aside from both the AMSAT-NA Presidency and the AMSAT-NA BOD, I've now become a permanent resident of Canada.
And, in an effort to avoid further complicating AMSAT-NA's already complicated ITAR reporting, I've decided it's probably best for me to simply take myself out of the loop as regards AMSAT-NA's internal matters.
However, Domenico, thank you very much for your informative reply! I have no doubt that the AMSAT-NA and DL folks are working as hard as they can to get a launch for P3-E.
Thanks again and 73,

Keith, First, good to hear from you. Many have asked at the AMSAT booth of your whereabouts. Sorry you feel this way, however, AMSAT does have a lot of bright stars and people that try to keep everyone informed. I am "one" of the ANS editor's that try to keep the group and others in the world up to date. I am hampered by lack of information being forwarded by the various groups doing wonderful things for us. I always ask these groups to send a note or two to the ANS editor so we can keep the AMSAT members informed. I attended Dayton again this year to get scoops on items happening. The forums went well and up to date information was dispensed. ITAR is alive and well, yes, but the strings are becoming untangled. Remember, sometimes no news means that there was no progress to report. AMSAT has the Eagle project working too so don't forget about that project's needs since AMSAT has contributed many times to Phase 3E and this is AMSAT-NA's contribution to the ham community. 73, Dee, NB2F NJ AMSAT Co-ordinator
