[amsat-bb] Update: Rent GEO bandwidth for US

[Peter Goodhall (2M0SQL)]

Not quite sure how discussing how the newsgroups is run is relevant to the
thread.

I'm personally a fan of pain text emails which no attachments more so as I
don't have to worry about infected files, I'm not on 10+ newsgroups I'm on
3 they are all run by the group's independent of third parties.

This suits most of the content posted. images could easily be shared by the
likes of OneDrive, Dropbox etc.
