It's not that simple Brian. If you follow that line of thinking then people by the thousands would be renouncing their American citizenship because of the current shitshow in Washington, but I haven't heard of that happening.
The best thing to do is stay in the game, sort through the hysteria and misinformation and exercise your right to vote when the time comes. Then you can move Amsat back to becoming an organization you'll want to remain a part of.
Ok, back to sleep for me!

I worked a satellite just this morning. They are still up there. Just have to step away from the computer and turn on the radio.

I thought being a member of AMSAT was about keeping amateur radio in space, learning about satellites and for some of us working amateur radio satellites in space. Since the last election AMSAT seems to be about nothing but politics and misinformation. In my opinion AMSAT was a lot more fun to be apart of before the last election. All the politics and misinformation drives people away from AMSAT and is not good for the organization. I have been told in the past by one of the new board members that all of this is necessary for change to happen. I don't see that AMSAT has to go through some fundamental change or movement. I am tired of the new AMSAT since the last election. I am seriously considering not renewing my membership and I know plenty of other that are considering the same. When will all of this end so we can start enjoying AMSAT again and working satellites?
