Hi!
I will have an AMSAT booth at the Maricopa Amateur Radio Association's "CopaFest 2018" hamfest on Saturday, 27 October 2018, on the Ak-Chin Indian Community reservation south of Maricopa, Arizona. The hamfest will be held at the UltraStar MultiTainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle, next to the Harrah's Ak-Chin Casino along Arizona route 347 on the reservation. This will be a half-day event, running from 7am to 1pm (1400-2000 UTC). More information about the hamfest is available at:
Along with the AMSAT booth, look for demonstrations of satellite operating from the hamfest. I will probably use my own WD9EWK call sign for the demonstrations. If you hear WD9EWK on a pass, please feel free to call and be part of the demonstrations. The hamfest is in grid DM33xa, in Arizona's Pinal County.
I will use my @WD9EWK Twitter account to post updates from the hamfest, along with pictures. If you don't use Twitter, you can see these updates in a web browser at:
Any QSOs made with WD9EWK during the hamfest will be uploaded to Logbook of the World after the hamfest. If you would like to receive a QSL card for a QSO during a demonstration, please e-mail me after the hamfest with the QSO details. If you are in my log, I'll be happy to mail a card your way.
73!
