Satellite news in brief• Patrick WD9EWK / VA7EWK, along with Gerry VE4GTB / KD7MDB, Larry W7LB, Brock W6GMT, and Ron W6ZQ reported success and good satellite operating demos from the Scottsdale Amateur Radio Club's 'Springfest' hamfest. Contacts were made on two AO-51 passes and they sold about $200 of AMSAT merchandise. Martha at the AMSAT Office will send supplies for any AMSAT table at any hamfest. Contact her three weeks prior to the event. • At the request of the ALMASAT team, an Italian university microsat mission with both U and S band downlinks, AO-51 was switched to V/S 38k4 digital operation on March 15 and March 16. • New photos, an MP3 recording of the contact, video recordings, and a link to the article written about it in the Orange County Register are online from the ARISS Mission Viejo school contact. See: http://ucisat.eng.uci.edu/uplink. • The recently completed ARISS contact at Boulder Hill is now on the Fox River Radio League's website at http://www.frrl.org.
