Thanks JoAnne,

Hopefully the board will now move to a much more simpler, streamlined and
up-to date website. The current one is so bloated and so much out of date
it is pathetic!

Still waiting for our president to update the presidents page after how
many years

Looking at the store and the only new items for January are the President's
club $4000 plus. What else is new???

Yes, I am very critical and very tired of receiving no up to date
information on Fox or anyy major activities currently being done or being
told it is all ITAR.

But hey, I am also very glad of being a member of AMSAT UK and their
website rocks and I receive up to date info from Trevor every week via the
mailing list. Thanks so much Amsat-Uk!

 ANS-022 ANS Special Bulletin - AMSAT-NA Website Down

 AMSAT News Service Bulletin 022.01
 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
 January 22, 2013
 To All RADIO AMATEURS
 BID: $ANS-022.01

 On or about 20 January 2013, AMSAT-NA's main web site www.amsat.org
 was compromised by an attacker, with the contents of the supporting
 database, including non-public information, posted on other publicly
 available web sites.

 It is likely that the attacker gained enough access to the site to
 post arbitrary and possibly illegal content, so out of an abundance
 of caution the main site was shut down.

 Neither the AMSAT store nor the Fox project web site were affected
 by this breach. Mail services remain operational.

 The main site was developed roughly 10 years ago by a AMSAT volun-
 teers under a more benign Internet threat environment. The team that
 built that site is no longer associated with AMSAT, so work has been
 underway over the last several months to move to a modern, maintain-
 able, secure infrastructure. This recent breach will accelerate that
 activity. In the interim, www.amsat.org will have limited content.

http://www.uk.amsat.orgis perfectly working and up to date as far as I

A nice refreshing website dealing with amateur radio satellites and what
really is amazing, they are actually using it for the benefits of members
