I'm starting such a list for the "Tips for Beginners" segment of next week's AMSAT News Service bulletin. Yes, please, post your list of confusing terms so that I can include them. -- Mark D.

It's a good idea, Gerald--I don't remember such a list, but it could have been. Could you start the ball rolling by sending out the list of terms that you already wrote down which you did not know? Sometimes it's hard for those of us steeped in them to realize what is unknown.

Abbreviations and acronyms are a real headache for me from time to time. I was told that in the past the AMSAT Journal sometimes printed a table of abbreviations used frequently. I have some Journals from Sept/Oct 2019 to current issue, but do not include such table.
Is there such table available and where may I find it, please?
I listen to Saturday's Symposium and was overwhelmed with the terms used. I wrote down and looked up later a few of the terms. I realize that it probably take time to learn, but a list or table would help!
Thanks, and 73 to all.
