      No I am actually from Ashburn Va. The FCC is a little slow in updating my
address.

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your post.
Well, whether such a workshop is too advanced or
not, that's your call. But let it be known that the
PICetSat II module is VERY simple, meant for the
beginner and the advanced builder/user alike, and
that we have at least one full ground station set
up at the workshop as part of the whole system,
to test, experiment with and use. All is part of
a grand learning experience.
The ground station includes, of course, an antenna
with gain. I am hoping to find someone who can
help me and the local AMSAT-DC group by selecting
a 432 MHz antenna design such as the recent one
featured in QST Magazine, and then kit the parts
and arrange for a building and antenna test session
for those who prefer that, over having a model of
a simulated satellite to take home with them.
Since you are living in the Pittsburg area then we
would especially welcome you and encourage you
at our workshop. We recognize, however, that it is
a long 4-hour, 230 mile one-way trip to Greenbelt.
I'm not sure of the level of AMSAT activity in NE
Ohio or western PA, but we welcome those from
anywhere and everywhere!
The guys here are great, very friendly and
helpful. You would have a wonderful day here.
So, if you have any specific questions further then
please shoot them to us on this amsat-dc list. Any
of a number of use would be glad to offer you our
advice, stories, experience, recommendations or
hints.
Cheers,
Pat Kilroy, N8PK
AMSAT-DC Area
