From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
December 18, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-352.02
Satellite operators are invited to listen for ARRL Education and Technology Program Director, Mark Spencer, WA8SME on the afternoon pass of AO-27 (and possibly other satellites) on December 20 as he conducts an operating demonstration from the ARRL Teachers Institute at Mississippi State University. Satellite passes on December 21 are planned as backup operating times.
Mark will be covering topics regarding using space-borne systems in the classroom. He says a major part of that unit is demonstrating ham satellite contacts.
Mark will be using the call W1AW/5 for the pass. If you'd like a QSL for the contact, send an e-mail to him (mspencer@arrl.org) and he will make sure you get one.
