The Namast project is not dead. If you had been subscribed to the Namaste listserv, you would have seen messages to that affect. I think it is important to remember that this is a volunteer effort. If I had talents in the engineering area, I would be glad to volunteer but that is not where my skills are. If you have skills in those areas, volunteer and help out.

Here is an excerpt moving around the "Super duper" AMSAT-NA president on the NAMSATE reflector
AMSAT-NA is on a crashing course i doubt this group will survive up to the end of 2008! Sad news but could be under a new leadership things can still have some chance of success! P.S. I just hope i am dead wrong here?
Luc, tnx fer ur research and publication...Many amateur satellite operators in the world are of the same opinion...AMSAT-NA is beating a dead horse...
Absence of HEO, necessitates confirmation of those facts, NOW on 20 meters! Just the way we traded information for the early satellites.
I ran one of the early 20 meter satellite nets, hopefully a P3E launch will not require 20 meters to globally communicate again...
COMMUNICATION is the name of the game....nearly impossible now....if you want grid squares use your cell phone!!
73, Dave, WB6LLO dguimon1@san.rr.com Disagree: I learn.... Pulling for P3E...
