You know, now that I think about it, I do recall the message about the mailing labels. It was said we should get the Journal, but the name would be different.
Fact is I haven't gotten my copy.
Were they mailed or was the mailing agent fixing the problem??

What is the status of the newsletter? The last one I received was May/June. Is it the latest one? I look so forward to getting the newsletter. It is like a letter from home. 73, -james W5AOO _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

My copy arrived last week. Usually, I get mine about a week or two after many American hams report receiving theirs, though that might be because I live in Canada.
My mailing label was correct, so maybe the problem was fixed by the time my copy was put into the post.

I have a great deal of experience with mailing bulk mail and I know the delivery can vary tremendously. My post office is also not consistent in how they "police" my PO box. I have had them refuse mail addressed to someone other than myself. By someoneelse, I mean the last name is correct but not the first. This happens about once a year and then they continue to fill the box with mail addressed to people I have never heard of.
I will patiently wait for the Journal as it still might show up in the box some day. I dearly love all of my Amateur Radio Publications that I receive. The AMSAT Journal is my number one, followed by RadCom(RSGB-Excellent Publication!), QST, CQ, and a few others. I sincerely appreciate the efforts of those involved with the publication of the AMSAT Journal. The average reader probably does not have a clue how difficult it is to produce a publication like the AMSAT Journal. The actual placement of articles in the publication is a simple task compared to actually obtaining the article. Those who have written articles need plenty of applause too!
I guess I am "old school" but there is something about the paper copy of a publication that a computer cannot replace. My iPad will never feel like paper and I sure have a great deal of difficulty making notes on what I read on my iPad, notebooks, or large monitor. There is nothing like going back to an old publication that is dog eared, coffee stained, and full of notes and phone numbers. These artifacts all bring back fond memories of contacts, projects, and friends.

I've had similar experiences with Canada Post. Fortunately, such problems don't arise often.

Thank you.

You should see my place. I've got quite a collection of scientific and technical publications, some going back to the 1970s. Those I haven't been able to read yet go into a "round tuit" pile and I've got several of them now. My floor makes a good bookshelf, hi.

Hmmm, my July/August AMSAT Journal has not arrived either (even with the wrong name). Martha at the AMSAT Office handles circulation/mailing issues and she is our interface with vendors and contractors like the print shop.
I've let her know that so far we're missing issues for K9JKM, K7TEJ, and W5AOO. If others are missing please let Martha know.
