Can we do this for FO-29 and start a campaign for JAMSAT? another one for VO-52, another one for SO-
50, and what about individual who fund their own project with their own $?.

It was another BAD idea as many who are not AMSAT members anymore quit for this very same reason 
BAD decisions made by AMSAT as this last one to cancelled S mode downlink on Eagle.

Implementing a near toll system for AO-51 users in contrary to the HAM spirit. I understand as you 
said "I am not a subscriber to the list" but you are if you send this message and please read back 
a bit some past thread on AMSAT-BB.

management and supervision.

As another one ask you what you will do with those who are ONLY funding a specific project?

Put your money where the needs are and in a logical way send your $ or S to P3E this way you will 
really promote the real ham SPIRIT not the politics...

P.S. read more what the crowds are writing on this BB
