Also Douglas Quagliana, KA2UPW/5, will have two hours of forum time on Saturday afternoon to present an "Introduction to Amateur Radio Satellites" and monitoring the health of satellites by capturing and decoding telemetry. Douglas is very knowledgeable in both of these areas and is an excellent speaker.

Live demonstrations of communications through the current satellites, including the new ones, will take place on both days.
