Here's my candidate statement and qualifications: https://w5nyv.blogspot.com/2019/05/candidate-statement-amsat-na-board-of.htm...
Many of you read it when it was posted in May, and asked excellent questions!
I answered them here in a followup: https://w5nyv.blogspot.com/2019/06/campaign-statement-21-june-2019-amsat.htm...
Here's a letter from Bruce Perens, co-founder of Open Research Institute, Inc. about the campaign. https://perens.com/static/AMSAT/Election2019.html
Thank you so much for the support and consideration. The campaign has been a very positive experience, with lots of contacts made and encouragement received. Our community is well worth the effort!
Regardless of the results, I'll keep doing all the work that I have been doing for advanced digital payloads and ground systems. All of the work I do is open source and open access with international collaboration. Bringing this successful management and technical practice to AMSAT is my goal. It will make a substantial positive difference in all aspects of the organization.
Thank you!
