Good morning David, I've heard this same issue brought up in the past by other members. Personally speaking, I've been able to plug into several areas in which to volunteer. What exactly did you indicate that you would like to volunteer to do?
Dave, AA4KN

On top of that, it is inherently difficult, nay almost impossible, to become an AMSAT Volunteer - trust me, I have been trying for over a year now and have just about given up!

I think one of the problems volunteers face, which seems to have not been addresses, is one of geography.
The US is a big country. The existing volunteers are widespread. I work better as a member of a team rather than as an induvidual. I need a "normal" work environment. I'm inherently lazy and don't have the motovation to reliably work from home. I don't know of any active Amsat volunteers within, say, 30 miles of me, that I can team up with. Find me a project within 30 miles of Xenia, Ohio, in which I have some experience, and i will happily join the team.
