Well worth waiting for, BTW.

Hi David,
I just received mine today in east TN, but know that others received their
copy last week. You should receive it shortly.

Hi Everyone,
I apologize for the delay in getting the last issue out. Frankly I didn't have
enough content to fill it up this time until very late. I am always looking
for articles so if you have an article for the Journal please let me know. I
have some articles already but I need more.
I got my copy yesterday here in north central Florida.
73,
Ed Long

All,
Please recognize that all board meetings are open to all. Attend and
enjoy!!
I have been an AMSAT member since 1981 and have seen the board minutes in
the Journal for as long as I can remember. Yes, it does take a few months
to get these in the Journal.but that is mainly to ensure accuracy for the
members. If you want to get the details of the board meetings, I suggest
you either attend the meeting (and hear it in real time) or get the journal.
Those that volunteer to transcribe the board minutes from the tapes spend a
lot of their personal time in getting the minutes accurate. I thank them for
their outstanding support to AMSAT.

Hello Dave.
I work for a print shop that does mailings as part of their business.
It all depends on when the mailer gets the mailings from the printer.
Then the mailer prints the addresses on the mailing and sorts them out
into their respective zip codes. This then in turn gets sorted by state
and regions. Then depending on how the mailing is set up, it is shipped
to those states/regions via truck to the bulk mailing centers for the
USPS and then they start the process in reverse. Sometimes it takes any-
where from one to three days for those shipments to get from the mailer
to the regional bulk mailing center and then they in turn may take up to
three days to sort and send to respective zip codes.
Remember one thing, BULK mail is NOT a high priority like First class
mailing, so it DOES take longer to get done.
Hope this helps out some.

Hi Ed, KL7UW
You don't overstate that because AO40 died on 25 jan 2004 and in more
than 4 + 1/2 years of waiting is now evident that P3-E is actually our only
real gleam of hope even if in this time of waiting many satellite users
already died because they were relatively old and not in a time frame that
falls within normal lifetime to wait for a non bright satellite future.

Speaking for my self there are two possible outcomes, wait to see if P3-E
will be operational within the fall of 2009 or when VO-52 + FO-29 +
OSCAR-7 will fail decide to completely abandone the satellite activity
removing all satellite antennas from the roof.
For space communication I plan to change again my activity only with
23 cm EME while to start again with the HF to replace worldwide social
communications.
Please note that I losted all my HF friends when I decided to dedicate my
activity to satellites beginning with OSCAR-6 in 1972 when the satellite
future was bright and then I losted again all my satellite friends worlwide
as soon AO40 died the beginning of 2004 when the satellite future becomes
to be very dark

I agree with you but any of the above possibility should already been
discussed and decided when AO40 was alive and well.

I started accumulating "stuff" in 1972 for OSCAR-6 and everyting up to 2004
with AO40 was dedicated to a specialized satellite station wich is
difficult to actually convert to VHF/UHF/SHF Tropo or MS or TEP specialized
activities having the same top capabilities designed for satellite use.
In addition all the above "stuff" requires preventional maintenance waiting
for the future particularly referring to the antennas and everyting is
installed over the roof actually unused and becoming rusty.
I am retired from the job but I am 76 years old and here only God know if I
am in a time frame that falls within my lifetime to see P3-E operational.
Dear Ed I believe that if P3-E will not be operational within the fall of
2009 it is best for you and me to communicate off the moon on 1296 MHz
EME
I did 432 MHz EME between 1977 to 1980 but at that time the satellite
future seems to be very bright with OSCAR-10 OSCAR-13 and AO40
and they were fun until they lasted..........more and more fun than EME.
Apparently things are actually completely changed but the conversion from
a satellite station to an EME station seems to be more feasible and
convenient than to wait for years and maybe for noting when the moon it
there at no cost.
