Hi!

On Friday (29 April) afternoon through midday Sunday (1 May), I will be part of the AMSAT presence at the ARRL Nevada State Convention in Las Vegas. The convention will take place at the Eastside Cannery Casino-Hotel in Las Vegas. This hotel is located along Boulder Highway at Harmon Avenue, north of Tropicana Avenue and east of the I-515 freeway in Las Vegas. More information about the convention is available at:

During the convention, I will have WD9EWK on the air for demonstrations of satellite operating. If you hear WD9EWK on, please call and be a part of the demonstrations. I will try to post details of the planned satellite demonstrations here on the AMSAT-BB list, and will also post that information and other news from the convention on my @WD9EWK Twitter feed. If you don't use Twitter, you can still see what I post there by visiting this link:

The convention site is in grid DM26lc.

AMSAT thanks Frank Kostelac N7ZEV, a long-time AMSAT Area Coordinator in southern Nevada, for leading the AMSAT presence at this event. I am happy to be working with/for him this weekend, and looking forward to spending more than one night in Las Vegas this weekend. :-) (I have only spent one night at a time in Las Vegas on other trips over the past several years)

73!
