[amsat-bb] Upcoming satellite workshop on Saturday, August 26th

[Søren Straarup]

Hi Ruth, Matt .. List,

I don't do demostrations to get more ops on the birds.. I do it cause it is
what tickles me within hamradio.

It is what Sean mentioned "awareness"


Yes I do try and help those who asks.. If someone asks it is most likely
due to they have some level of interest.

If everything goes at planned I'm going to do a demo for the SARA group (
http://www.radioham.org) September 9th staying around 1400z, might try
FO-29.

Not trying to hijack the thread.
