Hi All,

This weekend (12-14 October) will be the 2012 PACIFICON at Santa
Clara, CA.  AMSAT members and officers will be participating in
various venues.

Portable satellite demos will be given by Tom Deeble, KA6SIP on
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  You can expect Tom to be using the
callsign:    W1AW/6 in grid square CM97

Thanks Tom for putting the event on the birds!    We hope some
youngsters will be available to put at the microphone.

73,

Mark N8MH
