Hi!
After spending Saturday in Tucson, I'm back to a hamfest next Saturday. The Scottsdale Amateur Radio Club is hosting its annual Springfest hamfest on Saturday, 21 March 2015. It will be in the parking lot at the Mountain Valley Church, on Perimeter Drive north of Princess Drive and west of AZ-101 exit 36 in Scottsdale AZ. The hamfest is a half-day event, typical of most hamfests in this state. More information about the hamfest is available at:

I will have an AMSAT table at this hamfest, offering demonstrations of satellite operating using any satellites passing by in the morning - including attempts at QSOs using the ISS packet/APRS digipeater using APRS messages from the hamfest site, located in grid DM43. I will use my own call, WD9EWK, for these demonstrations. As with my other demonstrations, I will upload all QSOs to Logbook of the World. If you work WD9EWK at the hamfest and want to receive a QSL card, please e-mail me after the hamfest with the QSO details. If you are in my log, I will be happy to send you a QSL card.
73!
