I'd like to propose some alternatives to the whiney "I want a HEO" BB emails:
- Write up your vision for how a HEO linear transponder might be constructed and launched. AMSAT-NA is always looking for articles.
- Share with us your plan for obtaining the funds necessary to launch a HEO linear transponder
- Publish a paper with your technical design for a next generation HEO
- Designate part of your estate towards the launch funds of a HEO
- Participate in the various AMSAT-related in-person forums worldwide discussing this issue
- Contribute your engineering expertise to current goals so that future technologies can be discovered through one of the many ongoing satellite projects throughout the world
The best part about the above suggestions is all but one require no money, perfect for most hams who want to complain but never open a wallet when there is a need. It's also worth noting that you don't have to be a member of an organization to contribute, though it is often beneficial in my humble opinion.

As if you and Clayton are doing anything other than sitting on your high horses judging other people for daring to ask a question or offer a differing point of view..... Talk about whining....And no I don't let people like you get me down. 73, Michael, W4HIJ On 1/26/2014 3:44 PM, Lizeth Norman wrote:

Let your fingers do the walking. Good list etiquette states before asking a question, that a search of the archives be done. In this case, I wouldn't touch this one with a large fiberglass pole. We're not taking about buying a pack of ciggies here.. This stuff costs millions..
