Well, it's unlikely that anyone here will remember, but a friend just found some old business cards I made for the dial-up bulletin board I used to run in the days before the World Wide Web, called Starbase One...
Maybe someone else remembers Fidonet though...

One catch was it only could work for one orbital inclination that had to be set up on the ground. On the plus side its primary purpose was for projecting your landing site ahead of you, so you just had to have it set up for the inclination of your reentry orbit.

Wonderful photo of the Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank!
After a busy few days of getting launch-ready for the New Year, we’re delighted to share that we are back open from this weekend onwards! 🔭✨
We look forward to welcoming you to our slice of the Solar System.

It appears that the Soyuz launch on Dec 28 had a problem on the 6th Fregat burn. The Marafon payloads were deployed in the wrong orbit, and the Fregat did not complete its deorbit burn. There was also some kind of issue with the deployment of Iran's Paya sat.
