Thanks very much for viewing the AMSAT Volunteer Survey. It's designed to identify your interests and skills, with the hope that we can see how you might best participate in the amateur satellite program.

This version of the new Survey is designed to be completed, and takes only a few minutes to fill out. When you submit it, the form will be electronically mailed to the volunteer coordinator.

AMSAT currently especially needs volunteers to help in the following areas:

Accounting and/or Bookkeeping- particulary if you have experience in using QuickBooks
Marketing - if you can help recruit advertisers for AMSAT.ORG, but even more important, we have some co-marketing ideas to work out.
Translators - if you speak a language other than English, help translate critical areas of the website into other languages.
Technical Support - both for the web site and for technical questions
Technical Writers - we are always interested in new articles for the web site and the Journal
Programming - primarily PIC, AVR and 1601 code

Thanks, and we look forward to receiving it back from you.

AMSAT Vice-President, Government Liaison
and Founding President Emeritus
