Today I received an automatic renewal notice and an invoice for renewal of AMSAT membership.  That prompted me to ponder three things:
1.  There is no question that AMSAT membership provides me individually with benefits, as well as the general Amateur Radio community, but ….
2.  Is the seemingly never-ending squabbling and political posturing that preceded the recent BOD election finally (!!!)_ over?  That was both disturbing and distracting from enjoyment of this aspect of the hobby.
3.  When will the printed AMSAT publication resume?  I value receiving a paper magazine even though an electronic version is quicker and cheaper to distribute.
Even though active back to my High School days of OSCAR 1, I have not entered into membership until a few years ago and am debating renewal pending answers to these three questions.
