[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite IOTA Award

[Eric Christensen]

I have received quite a few responses to my earlier message.  What I'd
like to do is to publicly document people's comments (like the FCC does
before they change anything) on the web so it won't be just me showing
interest.

I created a blog entry for this petition.  If you would, please go to
the entry
<http://eric-sparks.blogspot.com/2007/08/official-iota-satellite-award-petition.html>
and leave a comment there stating whether or not you support such a
action.  Please sign it with your name and callsign.

The comments are moderated but I promise to publish each and every one
of them (so long as they don't contain obscenities, or they aren't
fishing to get an argument started).

I appreciate it!
