In Canada and U.S., with 300,000,000 people, and 700,000 hams,
we have only 4000 members. TO fund Eagle, it will cost
about $1000 per member. That is a hard number to swallow
and it does not pay a single dime of the office expenses,
journal expenses, meeting expenses, on and on or cover
previous satellite expenses/debts.

These are tough times and the people we elect need to be
serious people.  The facts are, we need a benefactor.
If you know one, bring them forward.
