Email Issues

Posted on by Tom

Some members may not be receiving our emails!

UPDATE *******  4/13/2021 0750 Eastern

I have received an email from our service provider indicating that the problem with Microsoft email services has been corrected.

Emails should be going to all our members now.

Please let me know if there are any issues.

Please be advised:

If you have a .Hotmail, .Outlook, .Live, or .MSN email address registered with Our Coffee Shop,  you are likely NOT receiving emails from Our Coffee Shop.  This would include Prayer Requests and any other automated emails from Our Coffee Shop.

This problem is a result of our “Shared” email server which has likely been black listed by the aforementioned Microsoft email services.

A support request has been filed with our service provider. I will update this post, or remove it when the situation has been addressed. 

SUGGESTION: members could change their registered email address to something other than a Microsoft service. Perhaps a gmail address or something similar.  

At this time, only the aforementioned Microsoft email services are affected.

Contact me direct if you need further information.

Sincerely,

KD4LQB

Roger’s Trip to Space Center Houston

Posted on by Roger

Here are a few pictures I took on my most recent trip to Space Center Houston.  If you ever visit, come early and take the Apollo Mission Control room tour.  I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Shuttle piggy back ride on 747

When the shuttle had to land in California due to weather conditions in Flordia, it had to take a piggy back ride on the Boeng 747 specifically designed to transport the space craft back to Flordia.

Aerodynamic testing was done to ensure the shuttle could be transported by the 747.  

Inside the 747

The 747 was not a fly-by-wire aircraft.  The cables ran from the flight deck all the way to the control surfaces of the aircraft.

Flight Test Power panel

Hands-on display allowing you to mount the shuttle atop of the 747.

Apollo Mission Control Room

The Apollo Mission Control room has been restored to the way it looked on July 20, 1969 when the first man walked on the Moon.  Included in the tour was a playback of the actual moon landing with all the telemetry data on the screens updating real-time.  Very impressive.

This is great news for Our Coffee Shop! Nice to see the schedule of official moderated nets expanding to the weekend!

Many thanks to Joe, KB6YYT for taking on the challenge of a new weekly net! During today’s meeting, he mentioned that he might want to call the gathering “Ham and Eggs.”  

Well Joe, whatever you call it, I’m sure it will be a great success with you at the helm!

Be sure and check in on Saturday mornings at 9 AM eastern to take part in the new net with Joe as your moderator!
