I would think someone as learned as you would at least provide the proper citation.
The statement was properly attributed to you. If you had made your report to the membership I would have the whole thing, as it is I must rely on an incomplete report.
you would know that we were discussing the economic uncertainty at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
That was always obvious. I would not expect that AMSAT even *could *be doing excellently when we would not be getting the people walking up to the booth at Hamvention, etc. And I would encourage members to pony up! I just renewed my membership through 2022, and put $120 in the President's Circle.
But Robert, if I understand the Salary Protection Program, AMSAT is now carrying debt, and this will increase for a while. I trust you to do everything necessary to get the government to forgive that debt, and to impress on the board that this is one thing that they just can't allow to fail.
Thanks
