I don't think you understand.  Why do 4000
people have to go check a WEB page when
the reason for having an AMSDAT-BB is for
announcements of special satellite operations?

I don't PLAN my pass activities a month in
advance, with my work schedule, I have
tiny windows of opportunities, a few minutes
here and a few minutes there.  If I see an
announcement the day before a test, then
I can spend about 1 second deciding if I 
can do it or not.  

What is the AMSAT-BB for if not to alert
the 4000 subscribers of Special Satellite
tests?  Or is it only for BS?

Just a perspective from people who cannot
have time to be checking a dozen different
satellite web pages all the time...
