The Sumbandilasat and SA-AMSAT team has released their tentative activation times for this weekend, and it looks like North and South America will have many active passes. Keep in mind that many Scouts will be active for JOTA this weekend, so please make an extra effort to contact them and welcome them to amateur satellites.
