I forgot to mention I also have mast mount pre-amps for all bands included
in the deal. I've had many requests to ship the antennas, or break out the
rotor, etc. The antennas have been up for over 15 years and probably can't
be dis-assembled. If I don't sell/donate the whole package I will keep the
rotor, and be forced to scrap all the big Yagi's. I have room for a small
antenna system I already have(a new in the box Cushcraft AOP-1 set) that I
can use with the rotor and small tower at my urban home in NJ near
Philadelphia. I would love to see this system put to use donated to a school
as a teaching aid....

It is an article about "space junk".?
They point to Amateur Radio as one of the leaders in adding junk to the
space above, indicating we ignore rules and others don't enforce the rules.?
If you don't enjoy talking on satellites, then yes, for you, it is spam.?
For others, I think it is something to be aware of and be prepared to
address if in such a position.?
Not trying to cause harm to you or your computer. Just trying to help save

Doug,
Is this spam or phishing?
Without a subject or a sentence suggesting why someone on AMSAT might want
to even take a look at this article, or even give a clue that theis email
was originated by an actual ham, probably no one will follow your link.
I certainly wont since it looks 100% like a scam or phising email...
Just thought you might like to know if someone has hacked your account.

The point is, if you post a message with a completely generic subject
(like "Interesting Article") and a body text consisting entirely of a
URL and not even a callsign in your signature, then it is
indistinguishable from SPAM. Under the circumstances how was someone to
know that this linked to anything of interest to a ham radio operator,
and not to some porno site or a credit card scam or similar?

The "are-cubesats-adding-space-junk?" in the URL was a clue that it might
not be spam. And I did find it interesting. :)

My apologies to all.?
I assumed folks would have the intelligence to see where the article came
from by reading the link (a rather popular magazine at that).?
Also, my name, call sign, and phone numbers were very much present in the
original posting.?
I've apologized once for "assuming" it would be obvious... ?AND admitting
that Assumption was a very bad mistake on my part. Including the assumption
that most folks know to open links in a 'sand box' ?for safety concerns if
concerned.?
I never intended to cause harm or waste so much bandwidth on this rather
concerning subject. ?I just simply wanted to bring the concern to light
before we really got a suprise. ?As in, I was only trying to be helpful. ?I
now am very well scolded by half the folks here on the list it feels (off
list)...... ?Please forgive me!?
I'll be glad to remove myself from this list if that is what it takes to
appease the group. ?Or the moderator can do it for me considering the harm
I've caused.?
.... Yes, that was sarcasm. ?I'm rather tired of the beating of the dead
horse here folks. ?Either drop it or remove me from the list. ?I will not
share 3rd party topics of concern anymore if left on the list.?
Deal??
Bury the hatchet, please.?
