Os desafios fazem parte de minha vida, quer como pessoa, quer como radioamador.
Vejo-os como forma de realização pessoal, como meio para atingir objectivos.
São exclusivamente para "consumo próprio", não para demonstrar, satifazer ou
justificar-me perante outros (anónimos em particular).
Mas, porque não quero ser acusado de inflexibilidade, estou disposto a abrir uma excepção.
A condição é que o colega assuma publicamente a identidade deste (e de *TODOS*) os posts
que publicou neste fórum. De contrario, nada feito!

Costa,
A resposta às tuas tretas é isto: faz igual ? Essa do «consumo próprio» é egoísmo ou incapacidade !
 
About the AMSAT Volunteer Reporting System

AMSAT has instituted a practice of including "In-Kind" services provided by volunteers who donate their talents to projects that are in keeping with our Mission Statement.

This documentation of the time you donate will serve to better illustrate the true value of the AMSAT projects we all work so hard on. It will provide the outside world with a better view of the scope of our efforts.

Your submissions will be kept confidential. The aggregate value, within each category, will be moved to our financial statements, listed under the appropriate category as "In-Kind Services".

Below is an outline of the program and how you can participate. Please review it carefully.

AMSAT In-Kind Volunteer time donation system:

In keeping with the AMSAT mission statement, we are seeking documentation of In-Kind hours for only the following categories:

• Spacecraft:
  
  
  
  • Satellite Development / Operations Satellite Design
    
  • Satellite Construction
    
  • Satellite Ground Control Operations including Gathering of spacecraft telemetry for the archive system Software development
  
  
• Educational Outreach:
  
  
  
  • ARISS Design & Construction
    
  • ARISS Ground operations (School Contacts) Journal Editing
  
  
• Journal Writing
  
• ANS Editing
  
• ANS Writing
  
• AMSAT Publications (Example: "ECHO Operation, Development & specifications")
  
• Web Site production and maintenance
  
• University Lecturing or mentoring University Satellite meetings (Micro & Cube etc)

If you have supplied volunteer hours in 2004 for any of these items, we need to know about them.

We need an hourly rate to assign to the hours you log. The procedure for your selection of that rate is as follows:

We ask you to determine your attributable hourly rate based on your judgment of what the value is, based on the specific work you did for AMSAT. AMSAT will create an internal Value list which we will compare against your number to be sure we are not grossly over or under stating these values.

When you select a rate, please be real conservative, but absolutely realistic.

As an example: An Engineering PhD may figure he was doing entry level work on one project. We wouldn't want to use $250 an hour for a project that an engineer, fresh out of college, may be able to complete at a rate of $30.00 per hour. Please be as realistic as possible..
