Subject: [amsat-bb] Satellite Demo MSU-TI Dec 20

I will be conducting an ARRL Teachers Institute at Mississippi State
University from December 19-22.  The afternoon of Dec 20 (with the 21st as a
backup) I will be covering using space-borne systems in the classroom.  A
major part of that unit is demonstrating ham satellite contacts, and I could
use your help.  If you could give a listen for us on the AO27 pass that (I
think.I'll confirm once I am at the location and test things out) will go
over EM42 on Dec 20th at around 1435 EST and give a shout-out to the
teachers.  I will be using the call W1AW/5 for the pass.  If you'd like a
QSL for the contact, send an e-mail to me and I'll make sure you get one.

 

If you would like to see what else is covered during the Teachers Institute,
check it out at:

The satellite demonstrations are always an eye-opening experience for the
teachers, and the TI demonstrations would not be possible without your
support and patience.

 

TNX and 73,

Mark
