Re: [amsat-bb] Online Satellite Pass Predictions

[Robert McGwier <rwmcgwier@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it attracts people to our pieceof the hobby without them having 
to first spend money to join.   I view this as a service we provide 
people around the world irrespective of their ability to pay for an 
AMSAT membership.  I can easily see someone printing out a few days 
satellite passes down at the local internet cafe or school or library 
and not be able to otherwise afford to get these predicts.  I hope we 
are able to keep this out in the open.
