Hello AMSAT members (and fellow satellite enthusiasts),

I am honored to have been nominated again and subsequently declare my candidacy for the AMSAT Board of Directors. To succeed and keep the organization moving forward, AMSAT needs a combination of people with technical and non-profit managerial experiences.

I encourage you to read a biography about me here:

and some additional personal information here:

Hopefully, you will find I bring a blend of enthusiasm for satellite operations, good technical abilities as a satellite hobbyist and command station, as well as demonstrated effectiveness as a non-profit, higher education administrator that justifies your vote.

Also please support my colleagues Paul N8HM and Bruce KK5DO, who share the same vision for keeping amateur radio in space as we move upward to HEO! You can read about them here: https://www.upwardtoheo.com/

73, Mark L. Hammond [N8MH] AMSAT Director and Command Station
