I was wondering if anyone from the organization has signed up to do a presentation for the QSO today academy which is coming up on the weekend of September 9 and 10? It would be nice to see if a couple of us can come up with a really nice concise 30 minute presentation to build for that. The deadline for filing applications for presentations is August 1, and the deadline for creating that presentation and submitting it is September 1.

The final 20 minutes of the 50 minute presentation time is a live Q&A with attendees. So the presentation part is pre-recorded but a Q and a is live.

There is also the opportunity for live interaction spaces where people can gather and talk the subject of their choice, running throughout the entire event.

I have not filed an application for a presentation yet, but I wanted to throw this out to the group in general, and to folks who consider themselves amsat ambassadors, and try and work up a plan to get something registered before the deadline.

I believe this is a very good opportunity for us, as involved members of the organization, to make a good showing to the general Ham population, and to provide opportunities for people with a developing interest to come to a better understanding about how amateur radio satellites work.

Reply here, or let’s talk off-line.
