[amsat-bb] AMSAT @ "Rocket Fever" in Downey CA, 18 August 2018

[Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)]

Hi!

AMSAT will be part of a larger effort representing amateur radio at
"Rocket Fever", an event at the Columbia Memorial Space Center in Downey,
California. This event will take place on Saturday, 18 August 2018. More
information about the event is available at:

The Associated Radio Amateurs of Long Beach and the Downey Amateur
Radio Club will be the local radio clubs spearheading the amateur radio
booth at the event:

During the day, there will be demonstrations using different satellites
from the grounds of the Columbia center. Most likely, WD9EWK will be the
call sign used for these demonstrations. If you hear the demonstrations
on the air, please feel free to call and join in. The Columbia center is
in grid DM03, Los Angeles County. If WD9EWK is used for the satellite
demonstrations, I will upload the QSOs to Logbook of the World after the
event, and QSL cards will be available on request (no QSL card or SASE
is needed; just e-mail me with QSO details).

During this event, I will use my @WD9EWK Twitter account to post updates
and pictures. Even if you don't use Twitter, these posts are available
to anyone using a web browser at:

Thanks in advance, and 73!
