Domenico,
With all due respect, you base much of your argument on a single sentence on a marketing web page.
Hi Bill, W1PA
The following page is not a marketing web page but an official AMSAT-NA web page
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/sat_summary/hamsat.php
The "emergency" access ability may have been used as part of the justification for funding or launch vehicle access; it doesn't mean it works for that in any practical situation.
If you you mean that the the "emergency" access ability used by AMSAT as part of the justification for funding or launch vehicle access it doesn't mean it works for that in any practical situation it is like to say that AMSAT tells falsehood to NASA and ESA but as far I know AMSAT is not used to talk nonsense.
