Hi All,
This weekend (12-14 October) will be the 2012 PACIFICON at Santa Clara, CA. AMSAT members and officers will be participating in various venues.
Portable satellite demos will be given by Tom Deeble, KA6SIP on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You can expect Tom to be using the callsign: W1AW/6 in grid square CM97
Thanks Tom for putting the event on the birds! We hope some youngsters will be available to put at the microphone.

Mark N8MH AMSAT VP for Educational Relations
Hopeful schedule of operational passes; note the local Pacific time; add 7 hours for UTC!!!
