Guess I'll follow up to your question Joseph:
<quote> "Was AMSAT and ORI partnered at all on this work? I'm a bit out of the loop, so my apologies in advance if this is a silly question. W3AB, furthering tech is cool... But as an AMSAT member, if it was promoted and fell through at AMSAT for some reason, then I'm OK with it. But, as a member, i'd still wonder why and would be worried." <end quote>
Why is an AMSAT director is holding your own forums and booth at Hamcation? Has there been any disclosure anything about the projects you are apparently working on to the AMSAT board or officers? You understand the concern we might have not knowing which of two masters you are serving? Furthering your own interests at the expense of ours? Or side-stepping the organization you're on the board at expense to further a passion project of your own. Seems kind of antithetical.
I'm just trying to understand the map and your path and it's not clear. At all.
