SC11_C5_Rec_23 - SC11_C5_44
VHF Handbook Satellite Chapter
Removal of the existing Satellite chapter and replace with the attachment of paper 44.

SC11_C5_Rec_26 - SC11_C5_48
IARU satellite coordinator co-worker
Willi Vollenweider, HB9AMC, prepared the paper. Stefan L. Streif, HB9TTQ, introduced the paper. Graham, G3VZV, confirmed the need for this support. It would be best to involve Hans van de Groenendaal, ZS6AKV (the current coordinator) in this regard. Then ask Willi, HB9AMC, to contact Hans directly to work together in developing the youth satellite programme. Stefan Dombrowski, ON6TI, can also be involved. Hans, ZS6AKV, will be asked to include Willi and Stefan as co-workers into the Satellite ground station network for university satellite projects.
Proposed by USKA, seconded by SARL. Approved unanimously.
