 Looks like the hackers tried to get into the AMSAT-UK Site, also, from what 
 it says they are trying to sell for cheap. 

The term is crackers, *never* hackers.

[amsat-bb] AMSAT-NA Store still open and secure

2013-01-23 Thread Alan
All,

A quick reminder that the AMSAT-NA Store is still open for business at the
following URL:

http://store.amsat.org/catalog/

It is running on a separate secure server, and unaffected by issues with the
main AMSAT web site.  

We still haves several of the popular new broadband preamps in stock from
the second production run.  

Unlike some sites, even temporarily, no Viagra.  :)

73s,

Alan

[amsat-bb] amsat.org on archive.org

2013-01-23 Thread Trevor .
If you need to access information that was on on the amsat.org site then you 
can get some of it from the http://www.archive.org/ site 

For example I wanted to look up info on RS-15, Google tells me it used to be at 
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=6

Putting that URL into archive.org page gives me the RS-15 info as it was on 
April 26, 2012

Just downloaded new keps in my HRD Sat program today and noticed that SO-50
is now listed as Saudisat 1C. Looks like some other ones are also 'renamed'.

 

Anyone else notice this ?

[amsat-bb] Re: Limited capabilities now on www.amsat.org

2013-01-23 Thread Robert Bruninga
 Please let me know what you miss the most (via amsat-bb or directly) and
I will attempt move it higher on the priority list.

This week (thursday) I have about 30 students doing the one-day satellite
tracking lab.  The lab document calls for them to look at their selected
satellite on the AMSAT SATS page and read about the satellite.  So if
those links could possibly be active by first period Thursday that would
be GREAT!

But do not use your last silver bullet.  Researching the background on a
satellite is not the primary focus of this lab, but just tracking it and
turning a receiver to hear it is the main thing, and we do not need the
AMSAT web page for that primary purpose.  But the subtle nudging them to
refer to the AMSAT web page is to get it in the back of their heads as a
resource.

So, if you can activate those links, that would help.
