[amsat-bb] Re: Satellites List

[Clint Bradford]

This compilation reflects an awful lot of work - and you are to be 
complimented for creating it. But it troubles me:

When I was new to the amateur satellites seven or eight years ago, it 
was this kind of list that frustrated me, because it is, for the most part, 
absolutely worthless to anyone wanting to work the currently available 
amateur satellites.

Your work is a reflection of history. And is important. But I wish it had 
a preface of some sort, telling viewers that is is a historical document, 
and to point readers who are looking for CURRENT satellite information to 
appropriate sources of information.

It was after programming MANY satellites I found during Internet searches 
that I later found out were LONG DEAD that I created my meager Web site, 
catering to those who wanted to work the FM birds "this week" with minimal 
equipment.

Again - your compilation is a valuable, historical document. Thank you 
for your work.
