Mark, thanks for all your time.
Since you mention the command team, perhaps now might be a good chance to approach other operators that we know have the necessary equipment and ask if they would be willing to be part that team. Same goes with the people who manage the social media accounts.
Have a great week!

Hi, rest assured it was an oversight from command stations. Sometimes we get busy with other things (real life) and miss an email. We’ll try to do better. And by “we” I mean the whole command team. KO4MA and me ;)
Hopefully users will cooperate on Tuesday night so we can put into L/v at that time. I’ve been pondering and suggesting a long term swap to Tuesday/utc Wednesday, like we did for many years as Experimenter’s night. There are so many grid events and activations on weekends—seems like a good move to change our schedule so we can have our cake and eat it too!

I have been maintaining data resources of this kind for a long time (early 90's).
Recently, I've noticed a tendency for folks to allow commercial enterprises like FB and Twitter replace the more tried and true methods of communication.
In our case, (car clubs) this led to missed opportunities for members that choose not to support commercial enterprise or subject themselves to the potential privacy and security concerns that these Social Media networks expose their 'customers' to.
I love this BB, and I am one of those that has never had a Facebook or Twitter account. I hope that the folks in the know remember that not everyone uses Social Media, and post info where the rest of us can get at is as well.
Best,

Hi Perry!
AO-92 was kept in U/V mode in order to allow operators more
opportunities
to work N6O/mm from rare grid DM02. The operation will last only one
day.
The decision was announced over the AMSAT Twitter and Facebook
accounts. I
don't recall or can't find if it was posted on the -BB. Might be a good idea for next time.
