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.

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.

Ok, Clint. Then I'll call it as I see it: Please stop clogging the
internet with your personal web page propaganda.

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:

>> … 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.

MAI-75 SSTV activity planned for Aug 4 and 5
The final crew schedule for the week of Aug 3-9 was released recently and it showed a MAI-75 activity scheduled for Aug 4 and 5. This is soon after the Space X Demo-2 undock so changes to that event could impact the schedule.
The current dates and times of the activity are as follows:
Aug 4 (12:25-18:10 UTC) is setup and Day 1 operations.
Aug 5 (11:15-18:45 UTC) is Day 2 operations and close out.
This is the Moscow Aviation Institute SSTV experiment that is activate for orbital passes over Moscow, Russia. It has traditionally been PD-180 or PD-120 and transmitting on 145.800 MHz.
