I'd like to know a whole lot more why Director Thompson made this decision.

"What I want to understand is why was AMSAT absent? You had thousands of registered guests and you still will for another 27 days of advertising. Not one AMSAT logo anywhere.

Our volunteers spent countless hours organizing our presence at Ham Expo and the AMSAT logo spent months on the HamExpo page as an Exhibitor.
Then, on February 18th, AMSAT Director Thompson unilaterally informed Eric Guth to pull AMSAT from all participation in Ham Expo and remove the AMSAT logo.
Up to that point the presentation auditorium and the booth was called the "World of AMSAT." The next day, it was changed to the "Amateur Space Radio Exhibit."
