[Ground-station] Amateur Radio Newsline.

[Michelle Thompson]

Thank you, that means a lot. I take the feedback, commentary, and critique
seriously.

I'm very serious about wanting to know where we fall short. We might not be
able to respond instantly, but if we know what we need to do, then we can
work towards that.

This is a project that's very important to me, and it's something that we
can achieve. We need a lot more "ham hierarchy" support, or pull, than we
have received, in order to reduce the risk. We have plenty of community
support.

The community needs to speak up. I think you're doing exactly that, and
it's deeply appreciated.
