ATTENTION: Domain "amsat-dl.de"
Hello All,
I would like to point out expressly that AMSAT DL has nothing to do with current domain “www.amsat-dl.de”
The domain belonged in former times to Reinhard Richter, DJ1KM and served occasionally as a mirror, when we had some server problems at that time. At expiration the domain was immediately taken over and blocked by an IT-company. A search in the Internet resulted in the fact, that the new owner was frequently known for dubious domain grabbing activities..
Again, AMSAT-DL expressly dissociate from the domain "www.amsat-dl.de” and we will also not use this domain in future..
Webmasters of other AMSAT or private homepage should make sure, that all links to AMSAT-DL are directed to http://www.amsat-dl.org
Thank you, 73s Peter DB2OS
Hi again,
Now I know, why someone thought that "AMSAT" might be a very interesting domain to grab and make money with.... ;-)

At least the last one advertises with AMSAT as an registered trademark? Hmm, doesn't it belong to AMSAT-NA?? And can someone use AMSAT-Hc as an registered trademark even if AMSAT is already registered?
just curious...

Unlike copyrights, no world agreement exists for trademarks.
The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, also known as AMSAT, has registered the trademarks including the name AMSAT as well as the familiar globe and arrow symbol. But, this has effect only within the USA.
In years past, amateur satellite organizations around the world were encouraged to register their trademark(s) in their own countries to help protect the name. If not already done, each amateur satellite organization should register their trademarks as soon as possible, if the name hasn't been taken by someone else already.
I hope this helps.
