Geez - Ted, Trevor has been one of the best sources of satellite related information you will find. I for one appreciate his "satellite news service" as I call it since I don't have the time to sit in front of "CNN" and get the news. Maybe you do!
Simple solutions: 1) use your delete button or 2) use your email program "spam" filter (just like I have added YOU to my filter).
Trevor - keep up your good work!!
Bill - N6GHz

Dear Trevor, CNN are available here along with ABC, NBC, Fox, NASA channel and every other media outlet on planet earth. (p.s. thanks to Al Gore, we will now even be able to watch terrorist beheadings in real time)
Why, why, then, do you need to post every single fart that occurs more than 500 feet AGL anywhere on earth?
In the name of Jesus Christ, please, please give it a break with your serial posting !!!
If this gets me kicked off the AMSAT reflector, so be it, but someone has to say it

CNN are reporting the BLITS satellite was rendered inoperable after being impacted by debris from a 2007 weapon test.
http://edition.cnn.com/2013/03/09/tech/satellite-hit/index.html
Wiki says the weapon test created 2,317 pieces of trackable size (golf ball size and larger) and an estimated 150,000 debris particles so there's clearly potential for more impacts.
