I was just sticking some stuff in the shopping cart when your message popped up... How did you hear about this bonus? I wonder how many people are smiling on AMSAT? I wonder if AMSAT has registered to participate with the program or not? On 03/26/2014 11:00 PM, Clint Bradford wrote: Extra

As to the question about retaining the data, you can think of it as meta data similar to what the cellphone carriers collect about cellphone calls. They don't record and save you conversations but they do record information about origination, destination,time, duration and type of call.

My cellphone carrier can detect which direction my phone is pointed very accurately in a single location in my home. It shows on my internal mapping function and GPS is shut off. That to me means constant triangulation along with direction sensing within my android device... If I'm in an
