AMSAT received the sad news that Ignacio Martinez, CE2MH, President
of AMSAT-CE passed away suddenly December 9 after a brief illness.
He was 73. Ignacio was founder of FEDERACHI, the Chilean Radio Ama-
teur Federation, from where he laid the foundations to create
AMSAT-CE.
There he served as President of the Board from its beginnings in 1992
until he passed away. He was the driving force behind the CESAR-1
satellite project to which Tom Clark, K3IO made a great contribution.
Ignacio is survived by his wife Patricia, two daughters and a son. A
memorial service took place in Vina del Mar on Sunday, December 11.
