Does anyone on the team think we need an analog RF engineer at this point.  Let me know if you think we do.  I don't want to dilute our team meetings with "observers"....

His background is analog RF engineering, I believe. Jonathan

Any idea what his skill set is?

Bill,

Dave Benzel (email address below) is expressing an interest in discussion packet sats... If you want (it's entirely up to you) would you like to contact him as a potential volunteer?

He attended one weekly engineering meeting and I take it he doesn't want to participate in structured meetings so I'm not sure how to engage him but I figure I'll let you know there's interest from him in packet sats.

Hi Jonathan -

Thanks for note.  No, nothing specific.  At this point in my career, I am just looking for less structure... which doesn't really seem to fit in with your perfectly appropriate way of conducting projects.

Thanks for keeping me in mind - I would really enjoy making what ever contribution I can, that may help unload some of your other folks.  Seems like a great bunch, and can't wait to see us get more hardware in orbit.

I'd like to send you some ideas I had on packet sats - working with the really fun IO-117 sat gave me a few ideas on how to improve this general system.  Haahaaha - probably nothing you all haven't already thought of though !!
