Re: [amsat-bb] Re: Re: [bod] AMASAT's 800 Number

[Emily Clarke <w0eec@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a very interesting point to bring up.

The current number is 1-888 F(ine) B(usiness) AMSAT.  It is an North 
American 888 number because an 800 number would cost far too much and 
increase overhead. Advertising it as DC-AMSAT would imply it was the number 
of AMSAT-DC which is a different Amateur Radio Club (like Project OSCAR, 
for example) affiliated with AMSAT, but which by no means pays directly for 
administrative costs of the home office. The home office is totally funded 
by AMSAT - the parent corporation.

So remember - 1-888-F(ine) B(usiness) AMSAT - Martha is awaiting your call 
for renewing memberships, making contributions and helping out in various 
ways.  Also remember that the store is online at:

http://www.amsat-na.com/

Remind your friends and family that a purchase of that hat or shirt for you 
(the person who is difficult to buy for) helps support your favourite 
hobby. We have no holiday consultants standing by, but the address again is:
http://www.amsat-na.com/
