HAMVENTION 2012 AFFILIATED EVENT TALK VIA A SATELLITE AT THE
DAYTON HAMVENTION
AMSAT is inviting students attending the 2012 Dayton
Hamvention to stop by the Satellite Demonstration Area just
outside of the Ball Area entrance. This to experience the
thrill of taking part in an actual contact using one or more
of the currently on-orbit amateur satellites.
There will be AMSAT volunteers there to explain how to make
the contacts and during actual satellite passes. AMSAT adds
that its volunteers will try to get as many students as
possible to complete actual contacts.
There will be lists of satellite pass times in the satellite
demonstration area and at the AMSAT booth inside the
exhibition area to help those wanting to talk via a
satellite to plan their schedule accordingly. (ANS)
