Does AMSAT offer compilations (back issues) of the AMSAT Journal in PDF format on CD, similar to the way that the ARRL and other organizations do with their publications? I've been buying all the back issues I can find at hamfests and on Ebay, but it's slow going.
If they are not available, I'd be willing to donate the labor to archive them into PDF format so that AMSAT could offer them for sale. My firm provides this service commercially to our clients (mainly in healthcare, who want to archive specialty publications for niche audiences). I'm sure my staff would enjoy taking a break from scanning endless issues of "Radiological Imaging Today" :-)

A while ago I scanned my own collection of *old* AMSAT publications, from AMSAT's founding in 1969 through the mid 1980s, mainly so I could thin out the stacks of paper in our house. They're on my website at

Phil, Thank You very much for your excellent effort to digitize and keep AMSAT Publications. I have been active with AMSAT since the early 1970 and do have some some publications. I will inventory my collection and if they are not on your fine list I will send you dates and see if you can use them. I noticed the references in the newsletters to the AMSAT International Net on 14,280mhz and the North American 75 Meter nets on 3.855 mh what fun I can still remember coping the AMSAT Bulletins on paper...... 73 Again we all thank you.

You're welcome! I think my collection of the early stuff is pretty complete but if you (or anyone) have anything that's missing I'd love to add it.

Well,
If I am not mistaken, the copyright is still with AMSAT. Certainly would be nice to get permission from the AMSAT office before the electronic distribution goes ahead!

Last time I asked, no one seemed to mind.

... AMSAT International Net on 14,280mhz
The AMSAT International Net still holds forth on Sunday at 1900 UTC now on 14.282 MHz. The pre-net warm up session begins shortly after 1800 UTC with informal contacts and questions and answers.
