Hi Clint,
Since I am responsible for this, let me answer that question. All the
candidates for AMSAT Board of Directors were given a mailing list containing
the name, address and callsign of all AMSAT-NA members to be used to promote
their candidacy to the membership. AMSAT does not have an official email
list of members. I created the email list by cross referencing the callsigns
from the membership with publicly available sources (QRZ.com). I offered to
send emails on behalf of my two colleagues as well. Each email has an
unsubscribe link that I immediately execute on reception. This mailing was
not done by a third party. The list has an expiration date mandated by the
secretary. You have several options if you do not to wish to receive email
from me. You can delete it on sight, you can create a rule to automatically
delete all email from me or you can unsubscribe and you will no longer
receive email from me.
If you have any other questions or concerns please email me directly and I
will be happy to assist.
Regards,
Howie AB2S

Gawd, did someone sue AMSAT-NA to obtain a membership email mailing list or
something?
All sorts of campaign statements from folks who don?t deserve votes in my IN

No need to reply.

I received mine on Friday, and after prayerfully reviewing the options,
marked mine and sent it off on Monday.
The post office isn't what it used to be, must be all that crap housewives
across the USA are ordering from China. Oh wait maybe that is just my wife.

I agree with Craig, my Fox Delta LVB tracker has worked flawlessly for
several years now. Great price, great service, nice kit.

Hello Max,
Are you a licensed amateur radio operator? I did not see your call in
the post.
Are you planning to use this radio for satellite work?
Googling for "VXR-9000 amateur" returns several promising pages of
information.

I did finally receive my ballot, but was that horse ever tired.
Just hoping that it makes it back to the other coast before the

I did finally receive my ballot, but was that horse ever tired.
Just hoping that it makes it back to the other coast before the

Thanks, everyone, for your input!
Pablo, EA4TX, was amazingly responsive with replies to my questions, and I
suspect that he has the superior all-in-one product, with the most-complete
design and the least hassle.
The Vbiroplex kit seems to be the most flexible pre-fab option, and runs
off of LVB logic.
The K3NG arduino option (and kit plans) are likely what I will to consider
at stage-two, when I decide to implement some sort of Euler Angle
automation for mounting plane sensing and translatio in order to run the
az-el on a trailer (ala satellite + VHF/UHF rover)... if anyone has
experience with this, please let me know.
The and the eham reviews, vibroplex and EA4TX documentation provide no
discernable differentiation between products, so I'm left to assume
'functional equivalence' between each of the kit options at this point.
After lots of research and abandonment of shopping carts, The price point
with an enclosure is the lowest for the Fox Delta USB kit.
So: I decided to start with the FoxDelta ST2 0417 for now, just to get some
automation going, and figure out what I want to do from there.
I'll respond as soon as I have my kit installed and running with the rotor
with any weirdness.
