[amsat-bb] "Moon Day? special events.

[tjschuessler at verizon.net]

I hope everyone who worked at special events commemorating Apollo 11's
historic mission had a great time this weekend.  Those involved with our
event at the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas had a great time
introducing hundreds of people to some basic aspects of satellites, and
specifically Amateur Radio in space.

Thanks to all who helped, Mac Cody, AE5PH (FM satellite passes), Jay Cox,
KG5BZW, Virginia Smith, NV5F, Tim Staley, K5TGS, Doug Quagliana, KA2UPW and
Dave Buchanan, W5TRX (with wife Leah) for giving their day to represent
AMSAT. Thanks as well to the Dallas Amateur Radio Club (Our display
neighbors) for their assistance.

Also thanks to Alan Johnston, KU2Y for his contribution in loaning the Fox
Engineering model and Cubesat Simulator for this event.  Both items are
great eye catchers at venues like this.
