"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.

That is a great question.  AMSAT was ready to go.  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."
