I will be conducting an ARRL Teachers Institute at Mississippi State University from December 19-22. The afternoon of Dec 20 (with the 21st as a backup) I will be covering using space-borne systems in the classroom. A major part of that unit is demonstrating ham satellite contacts, and I could use your help. If you could give a listen for us on the AO27 pass that (I think.I'll confirm once I am at the location and test things out) will go over EM42 on Dec 20th at around 1435 EST and give a shout-out to the teachers. I will be using the call W1AW/5 for the pass. If you'd like a QSL for the contact, send an e-mail to me and I'll make sure you get one.
If you would like to see what else is covered during the Teachers Institute, check it out at: http://www.arrl.org/teachers-institute-on-wireless-technology.
The satellite demonstrations are always an eye-opening experience for the teachers, and the TI demonstrations would not be possible without your support and patience.
TNX and 73,
Mark
