Hi!

AMSAT will be part of a larger effort representing amateur radio at "Rocket Fever", an event at the Columbia Memorial Space Center in Downey, California. This event will take place on Saturday, 18 August 2018. More information about the event is available at:

The Associated Radio Amateurs of Long Beach and the Downey Amateur Radio Club will be the local radio clubs spearheading the amateur radio booth at the event:

During the day, there will be demonstrations using different satellites from the grounds of the Columbia center. Most likely, WD9EWK will be the call sign used for these demonstrations. If you hear the demonstrations on the air, please feel free to call and join in. The Columbia center is in grid DM03, Los Angeles County. If WD9EWK is used for the satellite demonstrations, I will upload the QSOs to Logbook of the World after the event, and QSL cards will be available on request (no QSL card or SASE is needed; just e-mail me with QSO details).

During this event, I will use my @WD9EWK Twitter account to post updates and pictures. Even if you don't use Twitter, these posts are available to anyone using a web browser at:

Thanks in advance, and 73!
