I too did not receive the latest issue of the AMSAT Journal as of yet. Thought it might just be me, so didn't want to complain. It is something to look forward to! Great job to Martha, Jo Anne, and everyone involved. The authors deserve a lot of thanks as well.
This is what I received when I notified Martha that I had received my Journal with the correct address and someone else's name.
"With new mailing regulations, our mailer had to update their software. .The glitch was due to this change in software. We have been assured that all current members will receive a Journal - unfortunately with the wrong name. This will be fixed by the next issue of the Journal."
You might want to drop a note to Martha and inform her that you did not receive your Journal. The problem may be larger than she knows.

It is indeed unfortunate to have the commendable efforts of the volunteer contributors and editorial staff to the AMSAT Journal be undone by problems at a PAID contractor.
If you have not received your 2013 September/October AMSAT Journal via the postal mail please let the AMSAT office know via e-mail at [email protected].

September/October Journal is in progress now. It seems we are having problems with the mailing of the July/August Journal.

HI,
Whether you got your issue is dependent on how observant your mail carrier is. Technically, according to a conversation I had yesterday with mine, both the name and address need to match. Otherwise, the mail is to be forwarded if possible, or returned to the sender. (I am referring to the US Postal Service, but I expect other countries have similar rules.) It is interesting that the great majority, including mine, went through to the address with a wrong name.

Perhaps testament to the mail carriers being smarter than computers or rules, and recognizing that this particular magazine goes to your address regularly despite the name?
