I spent most of yesterday trying to find one morsel of support for the
scare about those satellite people taking our 2m and 70cm bands away..
I've found a lot of stuff about bands around ours, but nothing about the
amateur bands themselves.  I hope Rob can present to us exactly how he
verified that this threat really exists..  I'd be very interested to know
if this really IS a threat, but so far it looks pretty boneless.

Those of you newer to the net may not be terribly familiar with this, but
LOTS of scams fool LOTS of people.  (Heck.. people on the net are still
sending Craig Shergold get well cards!) Before you pass *anything* on that
relays a threat and asks for immediate action, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
research it and make sure you can verify it FIRST HAND BY YOURSELF.  The
fact that this was relayed over lots of listservs and lots of other people
are doing it DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING.

And DON'T just believe it because it names people and cites sources..  I
can sit here and whip up something that will look great on the surface,
but if you check it out a little bit, it'll be very apparent that I'm
very full of it very quickly.  Make sure you can find the same
information the warning is giving you by yourself.
