I'm looking for a receive converter, or possibly a transverter if the price
is right. Looking for both 2 meters and 435 to use with my Flex radio so
output must be on 28mhz. Let me know if you have one sitting around
collecting dust and would like to sell.
Thanks for reading.

So with 700 ballots received, we got a return rate of 22%.

Always makes me wonder, do people really not care, or does the board
always do such a wonderful job that everyone is so happy no matter who
is elected to the board?
Did all of the people who complain about AMSAT and the lack of this or
that satellite or feature or they way they are built or when do we get
another HEO or how someone failed once, did they all vote?
Seems to be true of anything anymore, only 10% of our homeowners showed
up for the annual meeting. 5% of those had complaints that they only
voice once a year at the annual meeting. I don't know if that means I'm
doing a great job as a board member, or nobody gives a hoot either way.

All of the above. Most care less about the politics. Even fewer actually
would give their time to make a difference. But there never is a shortage
of complainers.

There was an interesting article in QST a few months ago about the
number of Hams in the US. They mentioned some of the difficulties in
determining that number. It is easy to count licenses but of those
licensed how many are actually active. One thing that could throw off
the AMSAT numbers is life members. I am guessing that ballots are sent
to everyone. My life member number is 875 which was issued in 1978. I
imagine that there are many more life members today but even if mine
was the last one issued 27% of the 3176 could be life members. Just
because you are a life member that does not mean you are active or
even remotely interested.
I found it very difficult to determine who to vote for. My first step
was to send an email to all the candidates. Only two of them even
bothered to reply - that pretty much eliminated the rest. Next step
was to vote for people I actually heard on the satellites. I kept a
little list in the shack and checked off names as I heard them. When
it came time to vote there was only one person on that list or in my
log but they had previously replied to my initial email so were
already in. I then decided to vote for people who said something
meaningful in their bio. There was only one but they were already on
my list. I then decided to vote for the youngest person but ages were
not listed. My fall back criteria when all else fails is to vote for
the cutest woman but for obvious reasons that was not possible. All in
all I think a 22% return rate is pretty good and certainly not worth
worrying about.
