[amsat-bb] Indian Students are offered to Learn Ham Radio in Lockdown

[Ron VE8RT]

Hi Rajesh,

   wonderful!  I have been hoping to organize something like this here
in my neighbourhood.  To that end I had contacted the CBC (Canadian
Broadcast Organization) who have offered to do a spot on radio about
learning amteur radio, and perhaps they will put an article on their
webpage.

   When I saw your notice on Southgate News this morning I sent the
link to our CBC reporter.

   Thanks and good luck.

   On another note, I thought that I could do a quick demonstration for
CBC and still keep personal spacing by taking my TMV-71A with an Arrow
Antenna and working a couple of stations on the FM satellites.  It has
been several months since I've been on satellite, hopefully I won't
disappoint the reporter with zero contacts.  When we set up a time for
the demonstration I may post something on this list.  Its 5AM at the
moment and its -31C at the moment, fortunately its expected to warm up
to -20C during the day, good enough for a few minutes of operating
outdoors :-)
