Brennan,
So sorry for this confusion, but we moved and I hadn’t changed my address on the member portal before July 1. It WAS 4000 Waterford Circle and is NOW 517 Eline Ave.
Do you mind to resend? Again, I’m so sorry about this.
73,
Michael, N4DCW

I have replied to Jack and another similarly situated member separately, but wanted to offer the following guidance to all members.
It would be worthwhile for members to verify their addresses of record through the AMSAT membership portal at launch.amsat.org. If that address is missing or incorrect, it is almost certain your ballot won't be delivered. If you need to correct the address, please advise me, and pending verification against the voter list, I will send a replacement at the next opportunity (which will be Saturday at the earliest, as I am away from home).
The procedure for an correcting an incorrect address is different from the procedure for deeming a ballot lost in post. As stated earlier, given domestic and international delivery standards and accounting for guard time, a correctly addressed ballot will not be considered lost in post until August 12.

Folks,
I am an AMSAT life member and very much want to participate in the upcoming
election of directors. I have been watching the mail for a ballot envelope
from AMSAT and have yet to see one.
Were the ballot envelopes mailed out all at once or are they being sent
"batched"? When should I start to worry? Thanks much in advance for your
answer.

Hawkeye 360, a company I cofounded, has its next cluster of 3 spacecraft
through testing. It has significant new capabilities. And there are FIVE
more clusters planned for launch in 2021.
This candidate for the board of directors of AMSAT brings experience and
capabilities that can help AMSAT.
I ask for your vote and if you can find a more qualified candidate vote for
them.

Something for the new BOD to consider. I have been monitoring/lurking
AMSAT-BB for years, and still have to go to the archives to read a
thread, cut and paste an e-mail to contribute. I still have not figured
out its clunkiness. It may be a barrier to new tech types. I am old
school and it seems archaic to me.
I am using Groups.io and I am the owner/moderator of two mail lists over
there. ICOM-IC-970(a)groups.io and ICOM-ICR-9000(a)groups.io. (Welcome
aboard if interested)
This is a very flexible system and has both an e-mail and web interface.
It was designed to replace yahoo groups which declined into self
destruction by yahoo. For my purposes, they run themselves.
I recommend considering it for AMSAT-BB.
Initially there will be some noise from folks in bandwidth challenged
areas, but once they read the instructions and set their accounts
appropriately it will work fine.
My accounts are free. For a very large organization there may be a
subscription cost. It may be possible to have the archives converted and
embedded into the list. If not, they can be stored in the files area or
linked to their current location. If the change is made, be sure to
redirect or block new submissions to the old system so there is thread
continuity.
Feel free to subscribe to mine and check out the features.

Does the LNB have a dielectric lens on it? I can't tell from the pictures (and I'm looking to experiment with dielectric lenses...and am looking for an inexpensive source).

I removed the crashed drive, installed the cloned drive from April and
everything booted. Reinstalled the crashed drive and was able to look at
all the files, just not boot from it. Moved all my files and databases
over and everything is back to normal. Wasted a couple hours but so much
better than wasting days.
Copied all the files for my email client and everything is as it was.
Nothing lost.
