?I didn?t say anyone stole anything. I haven?t heard anyone say that. The
membership, however, has learned of inappropriate spending by a group of
legacy BoDs. It would be in the best interest of AMSAT, no matter who is in
office, to make the dark cloud of FUD to go away. The only way that will
happen is to have an independent, third-party investigate finances and to
perform an inventory.
AMSAT is a business. A business is valued by its cash on hand, receivables
and assets. A customer base can also be used as part of the valuation of a
company. All of the information, combined, gives an indication of the
stability of a company (organization).
The membership deserves to have the FUD removed and there?s only one way
this can occur. Nobody wants to invest in a business that has questionable
finances. In this case members and donors will be less likely to invest in
AMSAT as long as there are questions about the governance of AMSAT and how
that governance handles the organization?s money.
If I were on the board, I would want to cloud removed to show that I, as a
Board member, was being a good steward of the members? money.
So, I once again ask that a thorough examination of AMSAT?s finances and
assets take place so that the organization can show members and investors
(future members and donors) that the organization is sound and that money is
appropriately spent.
This seems like a no-brainer to me. I?m not sure why any reasonable person
would take issue with the membership wanting to know, for sure, that the
organization?s finances are sound.

The future indicates ?clear skies? for AMSAT-NA, as far as fulfilling their
mission statement is concerned.
Say, WE4B - You have been asked several times to report which AMSAT-NA
activities in which you have been involved.
What HAVE you volunteered to do for AMSAT-NA in, say, the past ten years?
Don?t you think actual volunteer hours devoted to an organization is a
valuable part of one?s resume - as they
runoff office for that organization?

I thought I had subscribed to the digest version of this list, but
apparently I subscribed to the drama version.
Is there a mailing list that focuses on the technical aspects of amateur
satellite use? For example, I would like to know of SSTV events and other
operational aspects.
I don't care to know about infighting of AMSAT members and officers.
Does anyone have some suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Clayton Coleman called for an inventory, and called for specific and
reasonable expense reductions, over a year ago on the BoD mailing list.
We lost a valuable IP donation from AHA.
A Rincon AstroSDR went missing for over a year. It resurfaced after I
started asking questions about it.
We need a better grip on what we own, where it is, and who has it. This can
be done.
It's not a bad idea at all to resolve to take inventory as soon as possible
and do a better job.
Don't get offended at an honest critique paired with proposed actions.
Those things lead to better solutions for the organization.

I don't think there is a stop on any of the topics you mention. Nothing
is stopping anyone from asking or posting about SSTV events, antennas,
rotors, sat beacons or favorite cheese dip recipes.

All of the things that the FIVE amigos keep addressing, should be done at
the board level. Doing an inventory should be done at the board level,
doing an audit should be done at a board level. The general membership
doesn't need to know this. The general membership needs to know that a
policy exists to monitor and control property of the organization. If a
policy doesn't exist in the by-laws add one.
Don't whine. The time to campaign is over.

Actually the general membership DOES need to know this. It removes FUD from
the minds of members and donors. I totally agree about the bylaws but until
the Board actually has meetings, there?s no way to add/change/delete bylaws.
The current BoD isn?t dysfunctional, it just doesn?t function because legacy
BoD members refuse to meet. No meetings = non-functioning. No whining here.
Just facts.

Indeed! Let's see if we can out-topic the mudslingers in here with real
technical topics.
Here's what I'm working on:
I just ordered a replacement microphone for my FT-847, as it did not come
with one.
The 3D printed passive Lindenblad article is written and needs a good going
over before submission to the journal. On-air experience is good!
I've ordered some 433MHz SAW filter (RFMi) from Mouser to install at the
output of my homebrew LNA. Hopefully this will reduce overload of the
FT-847. A FCDP+, with it's internal SAW, works very well with that antenna
and LNA, so I think I'm on the right track.
That have y'all been working on?

Zach,
I'm finally finishing up the SatNOGS Rotator V2 project that was started...
Now how many years ago did we start that little project? ;)
I built the SatNOGS Rotator Controller V1.2 a couple of months ago.? Now
I got the Arduino Pro Micro programmed and getting the steppers and
AZ/EL home sensors wired up.? Instead of using a WR703N, I'll interface
the Arduino to a Raspberry Pi 3 that will run some tracking software.
73,
Mac Cody / AE5PH
