Dave-
AMSAT is not floundering . . . in fact I'd say that Amateur Radio as 
a whole is in a state of transition and having to rethink its place 
in the world of technology. I don't know what happened to have 
AMSAT-UK say no to your joining AND providing them with money (in 
terms of dues) but you might what to reconsider your position. Once 
again, take a couple steps back and take another look at the entire 
picture.
