At the bottom of many pages of the AMSAT web site is a link entitled: "Report a bug on this page"
The stuff I found was from 2002 and 2004 - no link there buddy
Thats why I asked

Many hands make light work
Andrew: I think that the following solution will help you accomplish your goal...
At the bottom of many pages of the AMSAT web site is a link entitled: "Report a bug on this page"
Click on the link, and a form pops up. The form is pre-filled with the URL of the "offending" web page, i.e. the web page you were on at the time you clicked on the link. Fill in the rest of the form and click on the button labeled: Submit Report
One of the questions on the form is "Issue Type", and the drop-down list include numerous choices, such as: -- malformed text -- broken link -- outdated information -- misspelling -- punctuation and several others. You don't even have to start up your email client; the form goes to the appropriate person when you click on the Submit button.
If the page with a problem does not have one of these links on it, you could manually type in the following URL into your browser: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/bugform.php
The only problem with this is you will have to manually fill in the line on the form that specifies what web page is problematic. Of course, before you change to this URL, use your mouse to highlight the current URL (where the problem is located), hit Ctrl+C to copy the URL to the Windows Clipboard, then go to the bugform page, mouse or tab to that field, and hit Ctrl+V to paste in the URL. [My apologies in advance for giving you Windows-centric instructions if you are using a different OS family.]
This seems even easier to me than an email alias to which you send problem reports, but maybe that's just me...
But I clearly agree, a thousand pairs of eyes can find more errors and omissions than a single pair of eyes. www.nlrs.org (which I maintain) is comprised of over 4000 files, so I assume that www.amsat.org is much bigger!
