Thanks very much for requesting the AMSAT Volunteer Survey.
It's designed to identify your interests and skills,
with the hope that we can see how you might best
participate in the amateur satellite program.

This version of the new Survey is designed to be completed
and returned on-line, and takes only a few minutes to fill out.

Thanks, and we look forward to receiving it back from you.
