Funny that, Bob.
I agree with all 10 of your below ideas.

A bit late, no?

Hi Drew,
Good idea - but the lines of communications to the Russian satellite
folks don't appear to be open to allow discussion about any
collaboration. To my knowledge, there has never been any collaboration -
so maybe the time is right if ITAR doesn't kill that idea off at the knees.
Perhaps a serious initiative by the AMSAT-NA Board might produce the
dialog permitting a joint Amateur satellite venture. There is the
AMSAT-R but I'm not sure how active they are. Nothing ventured - nothing
gained!!
I would welcome any of our Russian Amateur (especially AMSAT-R) readers
of this thread to weight in with their thoughts regarding any future
collaboration.
Yes indeed - a very nice orbit!!
Regards...Bill - N6GHz

some of the comments I've seen seem very selfish and "me first". While it
would be nice to have an open two-way package on RS-30, the designers and
builders of that satellite in reality owe us nothing.
