Early AMSAT Satellite Report and Gateway newsletters online

Phil Karn, KA9Q, has made available on his website early issues of the AMSAT Satellite Report and Gateway the ARRL Packet radio newsletter.

On the AMSAT Bulletin Board (AMSAT-BB) he writes:

Hello all, if you'd like to take a trip back 25 years in time to the AMSAT and packet radio activities of the early and mid 1980s, you're in luck. I am scanning my collections of two old newsletters from that era and placing them online with permission:

The AMSAT Satellite Report (ASR) edited by the late Vern Riportella, WA2LQQ, and the ARRL Gateway newsletter on amateur packet radio.

With permission, I am placing these pdf scans on my website. The following ASR files are up now:

http://www.ka9q.net/asr-1981.pdf
http://www.ka9q.net/asr-1982.pdf
http://www.ka9q.net/asr-1983.pdf
http://www.ka9q.net/asr-1984.pdf
http://www.ka9q.net/asr-1985.pdf
http://www.ka9q.net/asr-1986.pdf
http://www.ka9q.net/asr-1987.pdf

This covers from the first issue of ASR in 1987 through mid 1987. I willfinish the year 1987 and add more years when I find that batch of newsletters.

I have scanned two volumes of the ARRL Gateway bulletin so far:

http://www.ka9q.net/Gateway-vol3.pdf

I will add more of these as I find and scan them. Preserve the past!

 

73, Phil
