People throwing out large dollar amounts ... claiming mystery and underhandedness ...
I see all this as an $803.50 issue.
Take those fees paid by duly-appointed AMSAT-NA officials, less the forgivable $17K CARES grant, and the true outlay is only $803.50.
Unrelated categories? Sure. But sure looks like AMSAT-NA is takin' care of business.
The only current candidate who has shown total respect for amateur radio and is dedicated to making it more enjoyable for all is Bruce Paige, KK5DO.
Why do people post items on a HAM RADIO BBS and NOT use their CALL LETTERS? Very rude! Why would someone make statements and keep themselves unknown? It could be Spam for all we know!!! Not signed.de Bob K8BL

It is not a requirement to have an amateur radio license to be on amsat-bb, as far as I know.

Zach,
The AMSAT Acceptable Use Policy, found here:
https://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/AMSAT_AUP_061819....
does state that “All posts should include the author's first name and call sign, or full name if not currently licensed.”
Of course, failing to do so is not considered a hanging offence. Hi Hi

Hello Alan,
So, the upshot is that he forgot to include his call (if he has one). The From/Reply-to lines have his full name.
In any case, it might be a better policy to use honey instead of a stick. See the paragraph before the one you quoted:
In order to preserve a constructive environment, we insist that posts contain appropriate content and are respectful of the members and readers of the AMSAT Lists.

Zach,

That was exactly my point to the OP in a slightly tongue in cheek manner, but providing a reference which many/most of the BB do not know exits.

No offense, but did you get a bit of a guilt trip from some of the (also tongue in cheek) Tweets and such from the other side of the Atlantic regarding Independence Day, or something?

Bob's point was that it is disingenuous for someone to make some 'drive-by' comments, and not identify. (Especially for a malcontent like Clint)

I remember junior high well enough, I don't need a refresher.
Let's get back to discussing amateur radio in space.

Bob, it's just Clint.....(no one gives a frosty crank, anyway ...it is his agenda to screw AMSAT anyway he can since he was ousted as an AMSAT Ambassador)
