Hi Joe,

Yes, I'll tell you exactly what I want to be done....I want to keep from 
shooting ourselves in the foot again, as we did with AO-51..., wasting 
dollars that could have been applied to HEO...

Many of us protested against an FM  voice 2 user bird from the very 
beginning....At least  do an ssb/cw transponder that would support multiple 
users.  The counter by the powers that be, at that time...."It is an easy 
to use, no doppler, inexpensive ground station, that would attract new 
users, thereby swelling ham satellite interest and our ranks to promote 
interest....

I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR WEEKS TO FIND OUT IF THAT HAS HAPPENED....NO ONE SEEMS 
TO HAVE THE ANSWER!!

Of course nothing will change what has happened....I just don't want the 
same mistake to happen again!!
