Ralph, W0RPK, has sent me the last of his batch of scanned AMSAT Orbit Magazine from the early days of AMSAT. This batch takes our collection up to issue 19, November-December 1984.
For those of you who may not remember, that was a very interesting chapter of AMSAT history beginning with the loss of Phase III-A in May 1980, the launch of the University of Surrey's first spacecraft UoSAT-Oscar-9, the continued determination of the Phase III team, and the successful launch of AO-10 in the summer of 1983.
I personally got involved with AMSAT right after the Phase III-A loss. so I have some pretty fond memories of those years.
73, Phil
Did you get my message about the early bulletins? Somewhere I should have a complete set except for the very first bulletin. I joined AMSAT within the first couple of months of the founding. When I find them I can send them to you for scanning. Of course, I would like them back when you finish.
