We are very fortunate to have access to MANY sources of information here.

I do not watch ABC, CBC, CNN (or its groups of channels) or NBC to get news - I choose other News services .

Likewise I dont really like much "social media" sites. I have not had a Twitter account, but due to the changes, I will more than likely be getting one this week.

But those I dont like, I simply dont watch.

AND believe it or not, there are some aspects of amateur radio that are simply not my cup of tea - so I dont do them.

I know not all hams are into listening to satellites or ISS, but that IS my cup of tea.

Find your "cup of tea" and focus on that.

Twitter - nka, "X" - is, in my humble opinion, chaotic and disturbing.(2)

SO ... How do we BEST spread the info to satellite enthusiasts? How do we disseminate ARISS, AMSAT, and other "sources" to the 'Net?

Any ideas? I don't think I'm making a big deal out of nothing. I really want relevant information available to the largest audience with minimal effort on their end.

(2) - Almost any member over there will tell you that it's become more chaotic, unorganized, and downright offensive the past 12 months.
