Hi Doug (and John!)
There will be an AMSAT table at Holland Amateur Radio Club's Great Lakeshore Super Swap in Holland, MI tomorrow, Saturday Oct 16th. My father (John K8YSE) and I (Doug KD8CAO) will be available to discuss AMSAT and demonstrate satellite operation.
We will be active on all satellites FM & SSB during the hamfest which runs from 1200z to 1600z (8AM to 12PM local time). In addition to the V/U and U/V satellites, we will be on AO-7 in Mode A. We would appreciate your call, especially if you have the ability to work us on Mode A.
Hope to hear you on in the morning. Maybe an SO-50 pass around 1430 UTC, or on VO-52 an hour after that. I am not set up for AO-7 mode A, something I need to work on sometime back home.
73!
