Hi!

I will have an AMSAT table at the ThunderBird Amateur Radio Club's WestFest hamfest in Glendale, Arizona, on Saturday 9 January 2010. The hamfest will be in the Activity Center on the Thunderbird School of Global Management campus, from 0700 to 1200 local time (1400-1900 UTC). More information about the hamfest, including a link to a map showing the hamfest site, is available at:

WD9EWK will be on the air with demonstrations using a variety of satellites throughout the morning. The tentative schedule, with all times in UTC, is as follows:

1301-1315 UTC - AO-51 1441-1452 UTC - AO-51 1553-1604 UTC - VO-52 1632-1644 UTC - SO-67 1729-1741 UTC - VO-52 1759-1812 UTC - SO-50

The first AO-51 pass takes place before the hamfest officially opens, but I will be on the air from there with whatever audience happens to be around the hamfest site at that hour (possibly others setting up their tables/booths inside the building. The hamfest site is in grid DM33vo.

Thanks, and 73!
