Hi All,
The Dayton Amateur Radio Association sponsored ARRL TI-2 Space will be conducted next week in Dayton from July 12 through 15. The purpose of this teachers institute is to instruct teachers on how to access satellites for use in their classrooms. The four day institute will involve a lot of on-the-air activity on the birds. I hope that you will listen up for the teachers who will be working the birds for the first time and help participate in the TI by making contacts with them. They will be novice satellite operators so I hope you will forgive mistakes as they learn the ropes. It will be interesting to see how 8 ground stations operate from one location! (The stations consist of FT817s, ARROWS and computer controlled G5500 rotors.) If anyone needs a contact with W1AW/8, I will be using that call sign periodically while doing some demonstrations during the TI. If you have a specific request, let me know via e-mail and I'll listen for your call specifically. CU on the birds and I appreciate your patience during this TI.
