[amsat-bb] AO92 L/V mode??

[Eli Caul]

I have been maintaining data resources of this kind for a long time (early 90's).

Recently,  I've noticed a tendency for folks to allow commercial enterprises like FB and Twitter replace the more tried and true methods of communication.   

In our case, (car clubs) this led to missed opportunities for members that choose not to support commercial enterprise or subject themselves to the potential privacy and security concerns that these Social Media networks expose their 'customers' to.  

I love this BB, and I am one of those that has never had a Facebook or Twitter account.   I hope that the folks in the know remember that not everyone uses Social Media, and post info where the rest of us can get at is as well. 

Best, 

- Eli Caul KK6ZHZ
