[amsat-bb] Re: AMSAT needs volunteers ???

[Jaime Robles]

I answered last year to a call and I got an answer from AMSAT ... but it
was negative due to the ITAR regulations and my Spanish nationality :-)

Maybe if the US relax ITAR for hamradio satellites we (non-US hams) can
help in future projects. :-)

Just my 2 cents :-)
