Hi Clint,
I absolutely agree! Even the little things are so appreciated by the silent majority of members. We had a pass of the ISS this evening that just happened to occur right after the net was over. In my check-in slot I announced what was going to happen, and where to look. (Man, it was BRIGHT tonight!) No sooner than I had returned inside after the pass, the phone rang. It was one of the club members, who had to call to tell me thanks for pointing it out. He was so amazed, he wanted to confirm that he really saw the Space Station!
Keep up the good work,
Greg KO6TH

I gave my presentation to a club back on September 3. They'll remain nameless - it doesn't matter who they were. At times during the show, I felt like Rodney Dangerfield - it was a rough crowd. I know my timing was a little "off" due to my wife's recovering from an emergency medical problem. But we did work AO-51 from the parking lot right before the meeting ... I had my club-specific trivia questions all prepared ... the presentation SHOULD have gone well ...
Well, I just chalked it up to the law o' averages. I mean, Give the presentation, say, ten times, and there'll be one group that isn't as receptive as they should be (grin).
I forgot about that night - until I received the email reprinted below last night. I am almost ashamed to post this. In my mind, I thought I had somehow failed the group. This post is not to glorify me and what I am doing - I mean it to be a "keep working at spreading the gospel of AMSAT" to all of us - no matter what silly little setbacks may occur.

Hello Clint
Thanks for the great AMSAT presentation at our club on 3 Sept. 09. And the demonstration of tracking and working an amateur satellite was very spectacular. The members are still talking about it. I hope you continue to give this lecture to various groups, it is one of the most viable ones that I have seen.
I made a dvd of your lecture and finally got it completed. Graphics on the top thanks to my son Eddie, our resident computer graphics person. I would like to send you a copy and was wondering if you were ok in QRZ at : 5085 Trail Canyon Drive, Mira Loma, Ca. 91752-1685 ? If this is ok, then i will mail it to you. Thanks again.
