Turning on a light
by Michael Tondee 28 Jul '20

28 Jul '20

The AMSAT membership has obviously long been in the dark about how the organization operates and what's involved in the finances and various decision making processes. Michelle and Patrick are trying to turn on a light and get some clarity and transparency. Despite the rancor it's caused and the fact that it's painful, it's becoming more and more undeniable how necessary it was and I fail to see how it's a bad thing. I'd love to go back to discussing satellites too but sometimes you have to go through the bad to get to the good. That's life. 73, Michael, W4HIJ

Hmmm ... never tried that. List messages are included in regular Google searches - but I am not sure if the more current years are included, or just the ones on the “old system” are being searched. Clint Bradford K6LCS Sent from my iPhone

Do preamps improve the signal to noise ratio or simply amplify signal and noise?

Ok, Clint. Then I'll call it as I see it: Please stop clogging the internet with your personal web page propaganda. --Roy K3RLD > Roy Dean: > > You need a little education. > > “Spam” is irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent indiscriminately to all audiences. > > “Advertising” is the activity or profession of producing ads for commercial products or services. > > What do I offer on my Web site?

Searching AMSAT Archives Using Google 'Site:' Tool
by JoAnne K9JKM 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

It is possible to search the Amsat-BB archives by using the "site:" command in Google. For example, to find all mentions of the word "Diplexer" in amsat-BB, type this line into Google: Diplexer site:http://amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb To restrict the search to a particular year, type: Diplexer site:http://amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2014 The 'site' command is also applicable to the AMSAT News Service archives at: https://amsat.org/pipermail/ans/ (via Dan Schultz N8FGV, posted in ANS-267 bulletins, September 24, 2017) -- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM k9jkm(a)amsat.org

Secretly Hired Lawyers
by Clint Bradford 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

>> … secretly hired lawyers. It was the last thing we expected to find. Did you expect to threaten there welfare of a corporation and NOT have them responsibly respond? Oh, and b the way, litigants many times don’t tell the “opposition” their strategy when seeking counsel. I hear very few intelligent arguments from these “truth seekers.” And the noise of their NOT responding to allegation of past mis-deeds is deafening.
