Hi Alan, WA4SCA

I can't understand why the AMSAT-NA members are more than 30,000 and the ballots submitted by Martha Saragovitz are only 688. Perheps voting for AMSAT in USA is becoming and endangered species or the AMSAT members are less than 30,000 ?

The member number was assigned in the order the member first joined AMSAT.  Over the years, members have come and gone.  However, the membership number keeps growing.

I joined AMSAT the 2nd month after it was founded.  My AMSAT number is 239.  When life memberships were offered, I was the 463rd to get a life membership.  Therefore, my life membership is indicated by LM-463.  As Martha says, the current number of "paid" members is a little over 3000.

In terms of membership, I am among those who have been a member the longest.   Glen, K9STH AMSAT-239 / LM-463

Hi Martha,   I trust in your figure of approximately 3,000. AMSAT-NA   membership but please read on the bottom belove because   I can't understand why Les Rayburn N1LF claim to be   AMSAT #38965

I would like to know from Les N1LF what the above   figure means......membership numbar or some other   issue ?

If you let your membership lapse, I try to find your original number in the database. If found, you will receive your old number. If not, you will get a new number.

And if you let membership run out for a few years do you get your old number again?
