Those that the FAA can contact already know what's right and wrong so they are not the issue. The issue is those that don't show up on the FAA or AMA lists that fly because they don't think they will get caught. Put out a blanket announcement over the evening news for two or three days and then, if someone gets busted, it's on them and not the FAA..
The news stations don't run FAA announcements free of charger.
I am not a proponent of email announcements due to the use of spam filters. Many times, I see an email get blocked or deleted as garbage, using regular media avoids that
So the FAA should change their entire communications procedures because you don't like it? Perhaps you're using inadequate tools. That really sounds like a personal problem. I get lots of email everyday and don't loose anything. Maybe you should upgrade to a better service provided and/or use better email tools.
