AMSAT-DC volunteers, The 2007 AMSAT Space Symposium in Pittsburgh was a huge success! I presented two papers: "AMSAT Pocomoke Lab Status" "Eagle Mechanical Status" And one of the HISS student interns presented: "The UMES/HISS Hawk HASP" student balloon project. The small Eagle model built with spare solar cells raised $640 in the fundraiser auction at the banquet! I have the following *schedule* for the AMSAT lab in November. Sat Nov 3 Open - cleanroom prep for sprinklers Sat Nov 10 Open Sat Nov 17 Open Sat Nov 24 probably Closed: Thanksgiving travel? My goals for *November*: 1) prep cleanroom for sprinklers. 2) paint cleanroom (everything available to do this) 3) finish lighting, begin wiring. 4) APRS? My goals for *December*: 1) Complete cleanroom (install filters, etc) 2) Machine & deliver new prototype modules (less sheetmetal) 2) Raise tower? If you have any *questions*, call my cell 443-783-7794 or email me. For *directions* to the Pocomoke Lab, map to this: Pocomoke Belt & Broad St Pocomoke City, MD 21851 73 bob Robert Davis KF4KSS

I need someone who is going to this weekend's hamfest in Howard county to please look out for a particular rare RF connector. I bought two of them from a vendor at July's hamfest and now I need two more. If you can help let me know and I will send you a photo of the connector and a description of the vendor (I sure hope they are coming back for this one..) Dan Schultz N8FGV

First, JC & Ray thank you so much for helping so much on Saturday. The lab looks great! 99% of the AMSAT property is now inside the Pocomoke Lab (instead of the warehouse on the other side of our wall). The construction and painting of the lab & machine shop is complete! Come help and check out the new lab! New photos here: http://picasaweb.google.com/bob2leo/MDLab200709Sep I have the following *schedule* for the AMSAT lab in October. Sat Oct 6 Closed Mon Oct 8 Open - Columbus Day and I have it off!
