AMSAT is a volunteer organisation and with that obviously comes 
limitations concerning Member's time and effort.

Over the last two weeks I have tried on four separate occasions to 
complete and send the volunteer form that is on the AMSAT NA website - 
each time I have received an error message at the point of sending the 
form and each time I have completed the bug report form and checked the 
box that asks if I want an acknowledgement of my report.

So far, nothing heard.

So AMSAT needs help but the help mechanism does not work and there is 
not enough help to fix the help page!

Classic "catch 22"
