Hello John,

Small point of clarification: I should have said "operating via", which 
would be using them, not commanding them.

I should have also avoided the pronoun "we". I do not claim to speak for 
anyone else.

I sincerely wish for a different mailing list which would cover only 
technical aspects of, news about, and operating via our fleet. I have 
absolutely no interest in rehashing election results or armchair 
quarterbacking of the management.

It seems to me that AMSAT is making progress. While Fox-1C failed, it is 
an outlier. Let's all root for a flawless Fox-1D launch and commissioning!

Golf-T and Golf-1 look to be great satellites, especially for microwave 
experimenters. This is my area of interest, and I've already obtained 
some bits and bobs, as our friends across the pond are fond of saying, 
for RX on 10GHz.

(I've been cleared by the XYL to put a rotator on the shed roof. 
Hopefully, I'll be able to point antennas at satellites soon!)
