If you let your membership lapse, I try to find your original number in the
database. If found, you will receive your old number. If not, you will get
a new number.

In other words, might be wise to include your name as originally used
and your previous call sign if it has changed.

Stefan, in the United States, we are lucky to get 20 per cent to vote in many
local, statewide, and national elections.
It is embarrassing. It is irresponsible. But it is how lackadaisical this
country has become when it comes to important matters.
Personally, I do not see why fellow AMSAT members should only have this 20 per
cent figure voting. Keep sending in your dues, non-voters. Keep AMSAT-NA in
your wills. But don't you non-voters moan and complain when matters arise that
you disagree with. You couldn't make the effort to affix a stamp and lick an
envelope when the future of AMSAT-NA mattered. Don't show your face here and
complain about a single thing AMSAT-NA is doing.
Just my opinion, of course.

Drew, KO4MA was on from EM61/EM71 intersection this morning on the FO-29
pass (and I found him high in the passband first!) and Ron N8RO was
operating portable from FM07! He had quite a pileup going more towards
the center of the passband.
Thanks to both these skilled and dedicated operators for being out
there. Great to hear spirited activity on the birds!

Also, Drew said he would be going to Cordele, Ga tonight and tomorrow and
would be able to work
the EM71/72 and EM81/82 grid line for those who needed it.
Good luck all,

I have decided to leave the list till something changes with this FM
only satellite
attitude only changes. That was the reason for me as well as other
joining AMSAT
in the first place.
Please inform me if anything such as a replacement for AO 40 happens.
