[amsat-bb] Amsat.org vs Launch.amsat.org?

[Burns Fisher]

Here is an extract from the instructions, which I got from a recent Journal:

5. If all goes well and you see a message on the next screen, telling you

You already did steps 1-5 so I did not re-copy them.  But the main point is
that the old database did not have your email, so in some cases they had to
find emails in other places, and they may be wrong.  Send a request as
specified above and you should get going quickly.

Good luck!
