Got the newsletter today. As pointed out in an E-Mail a couple of days ago, the name is definitely not correct! Also, the call sign, member number, etc., is also incorrect.
I do wonder about subscription time limits, etc., that can happen with the wrong information as is now being used! I surely hope that the printer gets the mailing label software corrected by the next mailing! Glen, K9STH AMSAT 239 / LM 463

Glen,
The problem was not in the information provided by AMSAT. That is correct. The problem was the printer did not properly read the data, resulting in the fields for the name and other information being offset from the address fields. They were most apologetic, and have assured us that "We have put safeguards in place to double check labels before they are printed in the future."

Remember, to err is human. However, it takes a computer to really foul up!
I definitely was aware that the problem was not caused by AMSAT. Since the printer has several months before attempting the addressing again, I sincerely hope that they can get a handle on their software. Glen, K9STH AMSAT 239 / LM 463
