Tampabay Hamfest new times and location
by Andrew Glasbrenner 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

AMSAT will have a booth this weekend at the Tampa Bay Hamfest, which is now a Friday-Saturday Hamfest, and has moved from Bradenton to Plant City. See http://www.fgcarc.org/pdf/2013FlierTampaBayHamfest.pdf for times and directions. Depending on available volunteers, we will have the opportunity to do some live demos, answer questions on the new satellites launched this month, and as always will have books, software, and memberships available. We are also scheduled for an AMSAT Forum at 9AM on Saturday. This time means that for the forum to happen, I will need some booth volunteers right at the beginning of the hamfest. Also, the more volunteers, the more live demos I can do. If you are able to help, please drop me and email or call me at 727 612 6626 and let me know when you can help. If you have particular things you want covered in the forum or answered at the booth, please let me know that as well, and I will do my best to be prepared. Thanks and 73, Drew KO4MA

Hi Bill, Out of all the groups listed with forums, it seems FLWSS and AMSAT have the most likely attendees in common. Would it be possible to have them scheduled at different times?

Yaesu FT-726R parts available
by Andrew Glasbrenner 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

I have an old 726 that I'm parting out. The band modules are headed for Ebay today, but if anyone needs another part, please let me know. Unfortunately, no satellite board or CTCSS encoder. No guarantees any of it works, but the price will be right. The radio did power up but had low output and issues with the VFO encoder. Email at ko4ma(a)amsat.org please. 73, Drew KO4MA

Is anyone interested in helping me with the Tampa Hamfest on Dec 1? Last year was very disappointing, but I'm going to give it one more shot. Saturday only, maybe a demo or two, and I'll talk about Fox during the forum. 73, Drew KO4MA

It's very sad to hear this news about Dee. I've had the pleasure of chatting with him on occasion, but know him mostly by his impeccable reputation as the go-to person on so many subjects and issues dealing with ham radio. His invaluable help on the ARISSat-1 project should also be noted. He will be emormously missed.
