Hello Larry.

Your Life membership number is MUCH lower then mine...but I hope that you 
are right.

In the end AO-40 WAS A MISTAKE.  The amateur community invested to much in 
one basket and instead we should have bought a "Lot" of Oscar 10 type 
platforms with varying transponder systems in them.

I realize that the "platform" might have been different but instead of one 
big now sick bird we could have launched a LOT of AO-10 type platforms for 
the money.

We should I think ditch anything but a linear transponder and just have the 
bandwidth.

Nice post.  I concur in it totally...
