Hi!

Region 2 of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU-R2) has begun hosting video workshops covering different facets of amateur radio. Last Wednesday (20 May), there was a "Satellite Communications 101" workshop in Spanish hosted by Matias Graino LU9CBL and Guillermo Guerra OA4/XQ3SA (an AMSAT Ambassador). Their workshop had over 40 attendees from many countries in the Americas via Zoom, along with others watching a live stream via YouTube. A replay of their presentation is available at:

The next IARU-R2 workshop will be another "Satellite Communications 101" presentation, targeting novices to satellite operating - this time in English. This presentation will take place on Wednesday, 27 May 2020, at 2359 UTC (7.59pm EDT/4.59pm PDT). I am the presenter for this week's workshop. A link to register for this workshop, and other upcoming IARU-R2 workshops, is available at:

There is a limit on the number of attendees who can participate via Zoom. If you want to watch the presentation without registering for the workshop, a live stream will be available from the "IARU - Region 2 Workshops" YouTube channel:

A video of Wednesday's workshop will be posted on this YouTube channel sometime after the conclusion of the workshop.

Thanks, and 73!
