Hi Michael, 

Don't forget the AMSAT-UK FUNcube-1 with a 435/145 MHz linear transponder or UKube-1 which is flying FUNcube boards with a 435/145 MHz linear transponder. Both aiming for a late 2012 launch.

AMSAT-ZL are doing great work in developing KiwiSat with a 435/145 linear transponder I believe aiming for a 2012 launch

AMSAT-SA have got two satellite projects under development, see pages 5 onwards of http://www.uk.amsat.org/on_193_final.pdf 

and http://www.amsatsa.org.za/ 

AMSAT-NA's Fox-1 and Fox-2 projects both deserve support 
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/fox/ 

and we all hope that AMSAT-DL are successful in obtaining a luanch opportunity for P3-E

There may well be others I've missed out.

I don't see that it matters which project you chose to donate to as long as you support someone.
