Well, Fernando, if you are lucky enough to make a sat qso with Clint, don't hold yer breathe for a QSL card. Despite SASE and email promises, good old 'Clint' never got around to it x3 (2010). Oh well, made the VUCC anyway..

Any plans to demo the satellites on this presentation? Some of us are always available to be the voices at the other end of the satellite (AO-85, SO-50, FO-29, etc).
It will also give us an opportunity to add you to our logs. I've been doing this since October and haven't heard you on one of the birds yet.

ARRL instructor and ARISS / AMSAT-NA / AMSAT-UK supporter Clint Bradford, K6LCS, will be presenting his 84th and 85th satellite presentations in September.
"I have no idea how I have "missed" the Downey (CA) Amateur Radio Club," Clint writes. "They are long-time ARRL supporters, and have been serving their region well for more than FIFTY years."
"The Victor Valley (CA) ARC is another story. This will be my fourth show for them these past ten years. I suppose I will have to change some of the bad jokes that are interspersed throughout the presentation ... "
Attendees will be shown EVERYTHING needed to work the FM voice ham satellites – with a re-occurring theme of, “Most hams already have most of the necessary equipment … ” Attendees can download a four-page tutorial beforehand at …
… and Clint welcomes pre-presentation questions. Call him at 909-999-SATS (909-999-7287), or send email to clint@clintbradford.com .
Not in the Southern California region - but would like your club to experience an hour-long educational and entertaining presentation on working the FM birds? Send me an email - I will bring the show to your club!
