We just returned from the AMSAT Annual Meeting and Space Symposium this past weekend in Houston. It was co-sponsored by the JSC Radio Club and the Clear Lake Amateur Radio Club, who did a great job supporting the planning and operation of the symposium, and organizing the tour of Johnson Space Center and W5RRR club station following the symposium.

Next year's meeting will be in the Washington/Baltimore/NoVA area at a date and exact hotel location yet to be determined.

If AMSAT members in our MDC section would be interested in supporting this meeting in any capacity please get in touch with me (Dan Schultz N8FGV) or with Frank Bauer KA3HDO.

I expect that planning sessions will begin in January right after the holidays. (Not to be confused with the planning of the AMSAT-DC Spring Workshop 2014 which begins this month and which is scheduled to occur in the month of March.)

Thoughts?
