Hi Jeff,
Pat Kilroy, N8PK, is planning something. Here's part of an e-mail he sent to local lists a few weeks ago. Contact him at [email protected] .

I am preparing for the Greater Baltimore Hamboree and Computerfest / ARRL Maryland State Convention at the end of this month. See the official web link above.
So far, I am flying pretty much solo, but I have some big plans that I think can be pulled off without much sweat. Could use a hand or two. The basic plan:
I have TWO tables reserved for an AMSAT booth in the Exhibition Hall, not far from the main ARRL booth. I will drive down to AMSAT HQ on Monday or Tuesday, March 22/23 to pick up the AMSAT goodies. (Spoke with Martha last week.) I will set up on the Friday night (March 26) in Timonium.
I have two one-hour forum slots to fill on Sunday morning for AMSAT. I invite YOU to talk if you wish, and then I will backfill the remaining time with a Microcontroller- based simulated satellite project that AMSAT beginners will be sure to enjoy. It will culminate in a small balloon launch, not unlike what Bob Bruninga did years ago except that the “flight modules” got smaller and more powerful!

I just realized that it is already time for the Timonium Hamfest in Maryland. As it is too late for me to setup the AMSAT booth I will ask if anyone from AMSAT will be there. I will volunteer to help man the booth on Saturday. Let me know here.
