Back in 2008, Gould Smith\nWA4SXM asked Tim Lilley N3TL and me to work with him on the\noriginal version of this flyer for use by AMSAT's Area Coordinators.\nGould and Tim were most helpful in this project, and I thank them for\ntheir contributions. Over the next 6+ years, this flyer has been revised\nseveral times. Until AMSAT's old web site was shut down a couple\nof years ago, updated versions were available in a special section of\nthat site used by Area Coordinators. With the changes related to the\nweb site in the past couple of years, that private area for Area\nCoordinators has not been recreated, and we're taking the opportunity\nto make the flyer available to everyone. This is probably long overdue,\nas the information has been available in many places (including\nAMSAT's \"Getting Started with Amateur Satellites\" books, available\nat AMSAT booths/tables and from AMSAT's online store).\n\nSince I live in Arizona, with many hamfests in close proximity to the\nMexican border, many Mexican hams come up to these hamfests.\nI asked a couple of friends, Larry Teran KI6YAA and Alex Pereida\nXE2BSS/N2IX, to translate this flyer into Spanish in 2011, which\nwas a great help. My grasp of Spanish is OK (some of you hear\nme speaking Spanish when I work stations in Mexico and central\nAmerica), but I was not comfortable translating the flyer by myself.\nAfter Larry and Alex did the initial Spanish translation in 2011, I have\nbeen able to update the Spanish version as the English version was\nupdated.\n\nA separate flyer is already in the works for the Fox-1A satellite, which\nwill be available before the satellite's scheduled launch date in late\nAugust. Between content for the AMSAT web site and articles in\nupcoming issues of the AMSAT Journal, there will be lots of\ninformation about Fox-1A available. Once we see how well Fox-1A\nworks, that information will be incorporated in both the English and\nSpanish versions of this flyer, and posted on the AMSAT web site.\nWe're starting to take advantage of how easy it is to make\ndocuments available on the AMSAT web site, using the WordPress\ncontent management system. This has been done with many\ndocuments related to the Fox project already, and we will continue\nto do this in the future.\n\nIf anyone wishes to translate this flyer into other languages, that would\nbe great. Please e-mail me directly, so we can discuss this in more\ndetail. Any additional translations will be posted on the AMSAT web\nsite, along with the existing English and Spanish versions.\n\nThanks, and 73!\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\nTwitter: @WD9EWK\n", "attachments": [] }
