Absolutely, closed groups/message boards go against the open spirit of amateur radio. That's why AMSAT-BB is open to all and it's archives are freely available, regardless of whether or not you are a member of AMSAT-NA.
Of course, if you do enjoy this BB, please consider joining AMSAT at http://store.amsat.org/catalog/index.php?cPath=32&osCsid=3kbpq04b26icr8v...

It's also great that these guys keep everyone notified of their operations on open forums like the AMSAT-BB and public Twitter feeds, not any private channels or closed groups.

Thanks, Dave. I don't get to many grids, but I enjoy it when I do get to a new place.
The most active ground-based rovers like KG5CCI, AC0RA, W5PFG, KA4H, and WD9EWK save a lot of time by using LoTW and not having to fill out paper cards for every person they work!
