by Bruce 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

There is only one more day to get your AMSAT 2012 Field Day submission sheets in. Monday, July 9, 2012 at 23:59PM Central Time is the deadline. I have only received 12 submissions thus far. I acknowledge when I receive a submission, if you sent one and I did not email you back, please send it again. All 12 are scored and in my spread sheet. So far, *^%$#@ is number 1, ^%^&** is number 2 and &^$#@ is number 3. Looks like those calls were scrambled in the email somehow. 73...bruce -- Bruce Paige, KK5DO AMSAT Director Contests and Awards ARRL Awards Manager (WAS, 5BWAS, VUCC), VE Houston AMSAT Net - Wed 0100z on Echolink - Conference *AMSAT* Also live streaming MP3 at http://www.amsatnet.com Podcast at http://www.amsatnet.com/podcast.xml or iTunes Latest satellite news on the ARRL Audio News http://www.arrl.org AMSAT on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/amsat

Fw: Reform of the 1986 UK Outer Space Act
by Graham Shirville 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hi All, These proposals to reform the UK Outer Space Act, include changes to make it more “cubesat friendly”. Whilst they only relate to our, UK legislation, both the Consultation Document and the Impact Assessment Document cover a lot of interesting ground, technical, legal and statistical. Well worth a review in my opinion. http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/2012/May/reform-of-the-… Rest assured that AMSAT-UK will be responding! cheers Graham Shirville G3VZV

Wisconsin AMSAT members
by Jimmy KC9PXZ 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

Hello again, I was wondering do the Wisconsin AMSAT members do things radio together at all. Like meeting or ops as a group. If so I would like to get in on the fun. If not to bad, it seems (at least to me) that it would be allot of fun. Thanks for your time 73 KC9PXZ Jimmy Norwalk, Wi. En43qt

I am a real fan of the ZAGG Sparq 2 portable power supply. 6,000 mAH - that's right: SIX AMPS of portable power to charge/run just about ANY of your USB-charged devices. Well - Invisible Shield is running a promo right now: 50% OFF. FREE shipping. That's just $49.95 for the unit. Use my links to purchase, and $5 of each sale will be donated to either the AMSAT-NA, the ARRL, or The Rotary Foundation (your choice). Go to my e-store at ... http://tinyurl.com/CB-ESTORE ... for details. Clint K6LCS 909-241-7666 NOTE: This is a BLATANT COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENT. I will make a couple bucks off of each sale ... but, then, I give most of it away to one of those worthwhile organizations. Oh, well. Can't say I am TOO business savvy ...
