Thank you,
I want to extend my appreciation for the stations that made my Satellite Demonstration, of AO-27, at 18:50 today an exciting success using the special event call sign of W2V. If you would like a special event QSL card, please send your information to [email protected].
I gave an earlier satellite presentation on How to get into space with an HT. I had over 43 interested Amateur Enthusiasts that attended the talk, we all had a great time. I want to thank Clint K6LCS, for his ideas on how to excite a group, Tim N3TL for sharing his 2008 Symposium presentation, that highlighted how you can be successful with a handheld and 400 milliwatt's. Pat WD9EWK, who has put his informative slides on the AMSAT Fieldops section and his e-mails to me on how to make a solid presentation. The feedback from the attendees was very rewarding, they took away a feeling that making satellite contacts is not as difficult or expensive as they thought. I could not have done it without your help guys and the knowledge shared on this BB, thank you.
73, Pete, WB2OQQ AMSAT NY Area Coordinator
