[amsat-bb] Board election

[Robert McGwier]

Congratulations to those who came in 1-3 and are now board members and
Howie who is first alternate.

I am deeply grateful for all who supported my candidacy.

My place in this notwithstanding, I feel it makes little sense for me to be
second alternate given this seems likely to cause conflict of interest
recusals in my position with ARDC.  I would have dealt with he pain of it
had I been elected to the board or been first alternate.  Jeff Johns also
ran so this move by me doesn't leave AMSAT without a second alternate.

I wish the organization well in its endeavors.

My life membership continues and I have a new amateur satellite system
under construction at my retirement home in Alabama and I expect to be
active soon since I have constructed the M2 crossed yagis, received the
Yaesu AZ/EL rotator and expect my Q5 to arrive this Fall. My new satellite
tracking software package written in Golang is well underway and I hope I
can get people to try it soon.
