[amsat-bb] PACIFICON 2011 Sat Shows
A case of Watch what you ask for - it may occur ... (grin) At last year's PACIFICON Convention in San Ramon, 54 attendees crammed into a room that was set up for 44 for my How to Work the Sats With Your HT presentation. In an after-convention wrap-up session, I tossed out the idea of doing the presentation twice, back-to-back, in order to accommodate more folks ... Well, PACIFICON took me up on that. Heck, I didn't even think they were listening ... (grin) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - AMSAT area coordinator Clint Bradford, K6LCS, will be presenting How to Work the FM Ham Satellites With Your HT presentation - twice - at PACIFICON 2011 in Santa Clara on Saturday, October 15. We had a great time last year - with a full conference room and several passes that we worked. I'll be making my presentation from 11AM-noon and 1-2PM. We have tentative passes of AO-27, AO-51, and ARISSat-1 (hopefully!) - Watch for posters near the check-in area for exact times. Download the tutorial and programming charts from ... http://www.work-sat.com And I always encourage pre-presentation inquiries. Send email to cl...@clintbradford.com - or call me at 909-241-7666. See you in Santa Clara! PACIFICON's Web site is http://www.pacificon.org . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Clint Bradford, K6LCS ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] SO-50 tonight
I will be giving a satellite presentation to the Parker County (TX) Amateur Radio Club tonight, and it looks like we'll have a shot at SO-50 for some contacts. It's low in the west, but we'll give it a try with max el 9 degrees about 23:17UTC. If you work me please give a shout out to the club members listening, and your QTH (city, state). Thanks! 73, Jerry NØJY ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

[amsat-bb] FN85 K8BL/VE Operation
Bob, K8BL will be in FN85 at the Bay of Fundy (where the highest tides are) on Wednesday afternoon, all day Thursday and part of Friday. He will likely operate AO-27 and AO-51 with possible SO-50 passes. This is a very rare grid so be sure to work him and give him some space to work others. Today he operated from FN64 on the AO27 and AO-51 passes at 1838z and 1913z respectively. Look for him on AO51 at 2051z, maybe in another grid.

[amsat-bb] San Jose Symposium
Greetings All! For those of you who are seriously thinking about attending the AMSAT Symposium in San Jose this year and also need to book flight reservations, I suggest you do so quickly. It seems air fares for early November are creeping ever upward, with a subsequent diminishing availability of good departure and arrival times into and out of San Jose. Between the time I first looked at a round trip fare from Detroit to San Jose, the fare had climbed nearly $100 and my preferred flight times were already sold out. If you have already decided to attend, I suggest you book your tickets NOW (while you still can get your choice of flights) and without also paying a last minute premium. 73, Keith Baker KB1SF / VA3KSF ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] EL39 possible
On Thursday, September 15, I will be in EL39 for a planning day. I do not know when the meeting ends, so I am unsure that I will even be available for a late afternoon pass of the FM sats. However, I am alerting you to that grid chasing possibility. 73 George WA5KBH ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Re: FN85 K8BL/VE Operation
Great grid, thanks for the information. Talking about give space to work others, keep in mind that the Mexican stations loss firts the foot print than USA stations and most of the times we lost good grids because USA stations wants to be firts. Only is a suggestion, not is my intention change the way that most use to work on SATs, I can wait for a better pass most of the time. Regards Omar XE1AO DK89df M.C.
