Hi JoAnne,

I was on active duty in the navy at the time, and had only a simple receiver, but the dit dit dit dit dit dit started my interest in amateur satellite radio, and have been ga ga, ever since!!

Every year on April 18 the IARU celebrates World Amateur Radio Day to note its anniversary starting in 1925.

This year's theme for the World Amateur Radio Day 2012 is Amateur Radio Satellites: "Celebrating 50 Years in Space" in remembrance the launch of OSCAR 1 on December 12, 1961, and the launch of OSCAR 2 on June 2, 1962.

The AMSAT News Service would like to publicize the events your group is planning for April 18, 2012. Just send the information to me and I'll get the news out.

Thanks!
