I did the calculations twice and got the same $3300 figure! However, I just
redid the calculations and got the much lower figure! I did use 1970 and
2009 as the years. Frankly, I have no idea as to why the different figures!

All moot, of course. Your fifty bucks contributed years ago was exactly that

what it is worth today is valueless.
"What have you done for AMSAT recently?" - is a much more appropriate

I'd rather they be spending their precious time working on AMSAT business,
getting us possible launches and making worthy contacts in industry than
spending their time having to comment on each teapot tempest from the
never-ending quibbling of the few nay-sayers and ankle-biters on here who
have nothing else to do but complain and kibitz about everything.
I hate having to spend time going through all this trash every time I check

Had not members contributed to AMSAT back in the early to mid 1970s there
would probably not even be an AMSAT today! So soon people forget their roots!
As for what I have personally contributed to AMSAT lately? Obviously you
haven't read the September/October 2009 issue of the AMSAT Journal! Therein
you will find an article on becoming a volunteer written by me.
Not every AMSAT member has discretionary funds to contribute to the
organization and quite a number of the early life members are now retired
and, like myself, living on basically "fixed" incomes. My wife and I are
not "destitute", but we definitely have to budget our money.
Looking at your biography page on QRZ.com I see that you have been licensed
for a little over 15 years. Also, looking at your photograph posted on
QRZ.com, I see that you have a "fair" number of years remaining in the
workforce before entering the world of the retired. As such, you obviously
have a "fair amount" of discretionary funds (since you have posted your
relationship to the ARRL and that you are a "benefactor" of AMSAT reinforces
this) which allows you to make financial contributions. That is fine.
When I became a life member I was gainfully employed and was definitely
"above average" in income. In fact, I was gainfully employed until 2002
when I "acquired" rheumatoid arthritis and became fully disabled. I have
been "fighting" with a major insurance company for the benefits that they
are supposed to be paying me and this has been ongoing for almost 8 years.
Fortunately, Social Security agreed that I was disabled and has been paying
me for close to 7 years. What Social Security is paying is definitely less
than what I would be paid by the private insurance company, but it is at
least "something". Starting next month I will "officially" not be disabled
but then "retired". Although my wife and I receive payments that are much
higher than what the average person gets from Social Security, the total
amount received is considerably less than when I was employed.
Considering that the majority of retirees are receiving considerably less
money every month that what my wife and I receive, it is pretty easy to see
that those persons have a very hard time "making it" on a daily basis.
Those persons, when gainfully employed, generally did have at least some
discretionary funds and could, if desired, contribute financially to AMSAT.
Today, things are very different.
It is the same with a lot of younger members who have lost their jobs.
Those persons are in no condition to contribute financially to AMSAT. Yet
you seem to think that the ability to give money is what is important.
There are those life members who have been "around" for a "while" who do
have both the skills and the time to contribute to AMSAT as volunteers.
However, there are also life members who no longer have the physical ability
which would allow them to "contribute" as volunteers today. According to
your way of "thinking", those persons should just be eliminated, forgetting
the role that those same people have played in the past, because they no
longer are in a position to contribute financially.
At least in my opinion, such actions are very wrong! Without the financial
support that those life members contributed in the past AMSAT would
definitely NOT be the organization that it is today. In fact, there is a
very good chance that the organization would not have survived the 40 years
that is has. Frankly, I sincerely wonder what your "position" is going to
be when you are retired, out of a job, or some similar situation.

I mean you no offense, but you miss the point completely.
Of course, it is impossible to say with certainty what would have
happened, it is pretty clear to me that without some very early members
who thought well enough of the organization to contribute the additional
money required to gain a life membership it is entirely possible, likely
even, that AMSAT is a going entity wouldn't exist. Raising funds for a
new organization, one without any track record, with lofty goals is hard
enough in the best of times, and it becomes impossible without some sort
of seed money, and seed money is always in short supply.
With that in mind, I believe that, when put to an early life member, it
is entirely reasonable to respond to your question "What have you done
for AMSAT recently" with "I have made it possible for you to make your
contribution." I am not saying this to diminish your contributions
(which I admit entirely put mine to shame) but to put them in
perspective. It is a far different thing to help get something like
AMSAT off the ground, and activity something I have some experience
with, than it is to contribute to AMSAT with it's rich 40 year history.
That makes early contributions worth far more than their absolute
value even in constant dollars.
When put to someone who bought his or her life membership much later, it
is entirely appropriate to respond that purchasing a life membership
gains an organization more money than buying an annual membership. It
is appropriate because it is entirely true. Organizations do not offer
lifetime memberships because certain of their members are so cheap they
insist upon it. Instead, they offer them because it makes a great deal
of business sense for them to do so. Not only do you lose the
nontrivial administrative costs of billing and processing a payment
every year, but you also gain positives like a predictable circulation
for your newsletter (always good for selling ads) and the ability to
invest the money, which you can't do with what you get from annual
memberships.
As far as the AUP goes, I have viewed this whole debate as something
like a teapot-sized tempest. I read the AUP when it was first
announced, and my perspective was probably a little bit different than
most readers because in the 1990's I had a chance to draft a similar
policy for an organization I was part of. That was an interesting
experience in figuring out how to do the most good for the most people.
I think AMSAT did a pretty good job with what they came up with. The
guidelines are mostly positive ("here's what we want to see") and the
things that are forbidden are those that are, in my opinion, frankly
indefensible. You can still talk smack about the BoD and complain that
AMSAT's efforts are wrongly directed just like you've been able to since
whenever this thing started. I can't imagine that the BoD thinks the
AUP will protect them from harsh criticism. Instead, I think they're
hoping to make amsat-bb more useful and, with some luck, less embarrassing.
The thing is, you can still get into battles with those who tend to get
under your skin, and you know who they are, and your best bet for
dealing with those people will be, as it has always been, to let them
have their say and ignore them the best you can. My rule is, "Don't
repeat yourself." If you don't have anything new to add to an
discussion, then remaining silent is always good and nobody sees that as
agreement. Of course, thanks to Usenet, I have a very powerful ignore
reflex, so it may not be possible for everyone to take that advice.
It will remain to be seen if the moderators have the courage to do their
job well. I've also done that, and it's harder than you think.
That's juts one opinion, worth what you paid for it.

Hello,
I would like to share an experience and ask this board if others have the
same?
I have used Ham Radio Deluxe for two years but have recently switched to
SatPC32. The reason is that the Doppler correction of HRD with my
Yaesu FT-847 always gave problems. It was a constant battle to stay on
frequentie.
I would like to continue using HRD but the Doppler correction compared to
SatPC32 is just bad.
Now I wonder, are there others that use HRD that share this experience
or is it something only occurs in combination with the Yaesu FT-847 and
is there maybe a solution.

If that is the case if it was used and then it is "done" then that was sheer
incompetence.

a satellite organization that is practically out of satellites.

Hi Jan,
I have had consistently good success with the Doppler correction in HRD. I
use it to guide either two FT-817NDs, or one 817 and a FT-857D. However, I
have encountered issues with what I believe to be the load on the Atom
processor in the Acer netbook I use.
Even though Simon has noted here and elsewhere that the Satellite tracking
program is now "stand-alone" in V 5.0, I cannot connect radios to it without
first launching HRD and connecting to it. That appears to result in issues
here. I have had the netbook lock up multiple times, including times when I
was about to attempt some low-angle DX contacts on grand old AO-7.
I continue to use SatPC 32 here because I don't have those lock-up issues
with it. The program runs flawlessly for me, and I have seen posts here from
other operators who have similar consistent success with SatPC 32 and the
venerable FT-847.
I continue to hope that some future version of HRD will, indeed, make it
possible to use ONLY the satellite tracking program - without the need to
first connect radios to HRD. It always has been possible for me to work
digital modes through DM780 without launching HRD, so I hope that kind of
independence will become part of the satellite tracking program in the
future.

All,
With all the MATH wizards coming out of the closet, Do we have any
calculations required to further the next satellite project? This thread
seemed doomed from the start. We all gave the life membership at the time
we thought AMSAT needed the extra monetary boost.
Now if we can find those Rocket scientists and support the math required for
them. . .(Good Luck Tony)
Caution, rough roads ahead.

Yaesu FT-847 always gave problems. It was a constant battle to stay on
frequentie.
I would like to continue using HRD but the Doppler correction compared to
SatPC32 is just bad.
Now I wonder, are there others that use HRD that share this experience
or is it something only occurs in combination with the Yaesu FT-847 and
is there maybe a solution.

Mode L anyone?
We will lose that entire region as an uplink in an upcoming WARC would
be my current estimate.
