I once suggest this before and got little traction. We all have what I call "round to it" projects. When in reality we'll never get round to it. How much "stuff do we have just waiting? I suggest we simple float this stuff on ebay, craigslist, this bb or whatever. Then donate the funds to AMSAT. I mean even Clint bought some AMSAT stamps awhile ago.

If what I just worked now on AO-51 is "deteriorated performance" with one dead battery cell and another failing ...
Then we have the most magnificent control ops team in the biz. '51 sounded as great as ever here in DM13-land.

Thanks Clint,
It's been a challenge keeping it running. When Cell #2 goes, most likely we will be done. We need Fox ASAP, along with FunCube, UKCube, Kiwisat, and the other imminent projects, and a gift launch for P3E.
Please, if you use the satellites, or like the program, donate when and what you can.
