Subject: "Moon Day satellite activations.
This Saturday, the 22nd, is the “Moon Day” space and space science themed annual event at the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas Texas. I and several associates will be manning an Amateur Radio Satellite table there, showing off the cubesat simulator, the Fox Engineering model, and other space science tools. We will also, as usual, attempt to demonstrate Amateur Radio satellite communications by attempting to work some FM satellite passes during the span of the event. Unfortunately, during the span of the event, 1500Z to 2100Z, there will only be one really good AO-91 pass and however many of the TEVEL fleet that are activated. We will be co-located at the event next to the Dallas Amateur Radio Club. The Club will be activating their W5FC club callsign and they have given permission for us to use that call for satellites as wel since all of us working the AMSAT table, are also club members.l.
So please give a listen, or even call for W5FC. Hopefully, we will have some observers in toe,. Making some contacts for them will be a really cool experience for them.
If someone could put this activation on the AMSAT Twitter feed, that would be great. I will place on Discord.
73 and hope to see you on the Birds this Saturday from 1500Z to 2100Z in celebration of “Moon Day”.
