Cruise arrangements made\nthrough Carnival Cruise Lines does not include the registration fee for the\nSymposium itself.\n\nThere are three options to register for Symposium:\n\n-Complete and mail to the AMSAT Office the 2016 Symposium Registration Form\nthat was sent to all AMSAT members back in July along with the BoD \nballot along\nwith payment;\n\n-Call the AMSAT Office (301-822-4376) and speak with AMSAT Office Manager\nMartha Saragovitz ; or\n\n-Use the AMSAT Store (store.amsat.org) by selecting the “2016 AMSAT-NA\nSymposium Registration” link found under “Bestsellers” on the right hand \nside\nof the store’s main page.\n\nRegistration for the Symposium is $40.00 and includes a copy of the\n“Proceedings” that contains papers written for the Symposium as well as\ntechnical documentation that AMSAT is placing in the public domain. The\n“Proceedings” will be available to attendees onboard ship. In addition, the\nregistration provides a means to confirm the number of individuals in your\nparty planning to attend the AMSAT Banquet as well as an opportunity to \nreserve\nseats for the Field Ops Breakfast. Both meals are open to anyone wishing to\nattend (AMSAT Registration is not necessary) and there is no charge for \neither\nevent as food is included in your cruise package. However, by \nindicating how\nmany individuals will be attending, it helps to ensure that sufficient \nseating\nis made available for each activity.\n\nAs the AMSAT Office will not be open after Monday, 7 NOV 16 through that \nweek,\nwe ask that your Symposium Registration be received at the AMSAT office by\nFriday, 4 NOV 16.\n\n\n[ANS thanks 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium Committee for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT SA Sponsors SDR Workshop\n\nAMSAT SA is holding a half-day SDR workshop in cooperation with the South\nAfrican Radio League at the National Amateur Radio Centre on 26 November \n2016.\nThe workshop will include videos and presentations on Software Defined \nRadio and\na practical demonstration. AMSAT SA started a conversation with radio \namateurs\ninterested in SDR and soon realised that there is a wider interest in this\ndeveloping technology in Amateur Radio.\n\nThe cost of attending is a contribution to the Kletskous development \nfund with a\nminimum of R20 to cover refreshment. For more details and to book your \nplace,\nvisit www.amsatsa.org.za or follow the link from the League's home page.\n\n[ANS thanks SARL weekly news in English 2016-10-15 for the above \ninformation]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nPhase 4 Satellite Presentation at TAPR Digital Communication Conference\n\nGary Pearce KN4AQ has released a video of the Digital Communications \nConference\npresentation by Bob McGwier N4HY about the AMSAT payload for a \ngeosynchronous\nsatellite.\n\nAMSAT-NA is developing a “hosted payload” for a spacecraft that \nMillennium Space\nSystems (MSS) of El Segundo, California, is under contract to design, \nlaunch,\nand operate for the US government. The satellite’s potential footprint could\nextend over the US from the Mid-Pacific to Africa.\n\nThe amateur radio payload will comprise a Software Defined Transponder \ncapable\nof supporting many different modes, including analog SSB.\n\nGary Pearce KN4AQ writes: We’ve been hearing about a Geosynchronous \nsatellite\nfor the Western Hemisphere for a while now, but not many details. In this\nepisode from the DCC, project leader Bob McGwier N4HY fills in a lot of \nblanks.\nThere’s no launch date yet, and maybe not quite enough info to start \nbuilding\nyour ground station (a ‘Five & Dime’ setup – 5 GHz up, 10 GHz down), but \nyou can\nstart thinking about it.\n\nBob's Phase 4 presentation at DCC can be viewed at the following link:\nhttps://youtu.be/BE6ZZ3MQsNY\n\n[ANS thanks HamRadioNow and AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n/EX\n\nIn addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the\nPresident's Club.
