The shop has had a policy of \nonly stocking items that are difficult to obtain in the \nUK and, initially, that policy will remain whilst Ciaran \ngets familiar with the stock and identifies other \npossible options.  \nSuggestions are always welcome and a new email address\n([email protected]) has been setup.  Please send \nthe suggestions in and keep checking the web site for updates.\nDue to the level of sales of software, and compatibility \nissues with the more recent Microsoft Operating Systems, \nit has been decided to stop selling InstantTrack and \nQuickTrack.  WiSP and SatPC32 licenses will continue to \nbe issued from the shop Also, there are currently no books \nfor sale - we are looking at this but suggestions are \nalways welcome.\nOn the hardware front, we have restocked with the ever \npopular LVB motherboards and we also have a limited number \nof complete kits for the LVB Tracker unit.  Half of the new \nkits also include the AMSAT-NA enclosure with compatible \ndisplay unit!  We are also investigating restocking the \n2.4GHz signal sources from G0MRF and the G7HIA 2.4GHz \npatch kits - please keep a watch on the website for \nmore details.\n \nThe AMSAT UK website can be accessed via http://www.uk.amsat.org/ \n- the shop is accessed via a link on the left \nhand side of the web page.\n\n73\nCiaran\nM0XTD\n\n\n[ANS thanks Ciaran,M0XTD, for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-151.2\nSatellite info\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 151.2\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nMay 31, 2009\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-151.2\n\nAO-51 will be configured for Field Day with dual repeaters, \n1268.700/435.150 and 145.920/435.300.

Bauer, who stepped down from ARISS\n<http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2009/03/25/10724/> and Radio Amateur\nSatellite Corporation's (AMSAT) <http://www.amsat.org/> duties this past\nMarch, served as ARISS Program Leader and ARISS International Working Group\nChair. Since 1991, he served as AMSAT Vice President for Human Spaceflight\nPrograms.\n\nThe ARRL Board of Directors voted to create the President's Award in 2003.\nThe President's Award is to go to an ARRL member or members who \"have shown\nlong-term dedication to the goals and objectives of ARRL and Amateur Radio,\"\nand who have gone the extra mile to support individual League programs and\ngoals. Nominations for the award come from directors and are approved by the\nARRL President and the Executive Committee.\n\nUnder Bauer's leadership, Amateur Radio activities have been on human\nspaceflight vehicles, including NASA-sponsored ham radio activities on the\nshuttle, Space Station Mir and the ISS. Starting in 1983, Bauer led the\nGoddard Amateur Radio Club team that provided around-the clock space shuttle\nretransmissions from the WA3NAN club station. These retransmissions provided\nthe international ham radio community up-to-the-minute information during\nthe flight of Owen Garriott, W5LFL, on STS-9\n<http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/archives/sts-9.ht\nml> and subsequent SAREX flights. In the days prior to the Internet, these\nreal-time bulletins and frequent orbital element updates could only be\nobtained through Amateur Radio.\n\n\"For well over a decade, I have been fortunate to be part of a group that\nhas been leading international teams together to focus on Amateur Radio on\nthe ISS,\" Bauer told the ARRL. \"As AMSAT Vice President for Human\nSpaceflight since 1991, I have really worked to get this international team\nto work as one, focusing on Amateur Radio. It is very critical to get all\nthe space agency partners to have a vested interest in making sure we do\nAmateur Radio right on the ISS. We need to keep the partnership we have with\nour international team in good stead.\"\n\n\n[ANS thanks ARRL for the above information]\n/EX\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-151.5\n\"Echoes of Apollo\" event.\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 151.5\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nMay 31, 2009\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-151.5\n\nCommemorating the 40th year anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon\nJuly 20th, 1969, many large commercial dishes worldwide will be active \"on\nthe air\" on 23 CM on the weekend of June 26th (Field Day weekend).
