Hi All Hamsat will be be celebrating its 2nd birthday on 5 May, completing 2 years of healthy & successful operation rendered to Hams worldwide. ISRO and Amsatindia plan to celebrate event with one day seminar planned during the week May 7-11. One day programme 9AM - 3 PM. No Fee but Registration is a MUST.
Tentative programmes have been discussed a) ISTRAC report of the Hamsat b) User reports and experiences. c) To promote new comers on easy satellite operation. Display, demo and talk on the equipments required for easy operation of satellite. d) Proposal for the Hamsat 2 , with higher orbit and innovative features.
We shall be announcing the final programme soon.
Anyone willing to present a talk or demo , display should sent complete details of the talk or demo etc , before 21 April 2007
However we request those willing to attend the seminar to confirm by email with complete address, tel / mob nos, email ids etc. Please note that due to security reasons all registrations should be complete and received before 30 April.
I know last year most the DX hams were interested too , but this time I think there maybe little time for them to prepare their travel, however DX hams in VU around that time can reschedule to attend the seminar. DX hams attending should send scanned copy of their passport. ( subject to security clearance by ISRO )
DX and VU hams hams can also send their reports and experiences to reports@amsat.in which have been forwarded to the Hamsat Project director and Mission management team.
You are welcome to join our discussion group amsatindia@yahoogroups.com by sending in your ham profile. So looking forward to the Hamsat 2nd birthday & great eyeball. Best 73 Pop VU2POP Secy Amsat India regd.
