[amsat-bb] Mobile satellite operation from 4X this Tuesday, April 12, 2011

[Shamai "SAM" Opfer]

Hi all,

To celebrate the April 12 event of Yuri Gagarin's first manned flight to
space, and to receive ARISSat1, we will hold a mini field-day in the
Herzliya Science Center on coming Tuesday, (together with a BarBQ..)

Our event is planned to take place between 12:00UTC (15:00 Israel time)
until the ISS pass that is expected in the evening little after 18:00 UTC
(21:00 Israel time).

Success is not guaranteed, as we are not yet experienced with this kind of
operation, but we will appreciate any European and Russian operators that
can show up in the mutual passes of AO07, AO51, FO29 within these hours, and
also SO67 and VO52 toward 18:00UTC, to try and make QSOs with us, and help
us to demo HAM satellites operation.

Thanks and 73,

Shamai
