AMSAT at the Tampa, FL Hamfest

AMSAT will have a booth at the Tampabay Hamfest coming up on 4 December in Palmetto, Florida.

AMSAT will also be doing 90 minutes of presentations on
satellites and ARISS during a forum on Saturday.
Please come by to pick up the latest AMSAT gear, learn about ARISSat-1, FOX, and other projects, make a donation, or join or renew your AMSAT membership.

Andrew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, AMSAT's VP of Operations reports that he will also be trying something new.
For each donation of $25 or more, or each membership or
renewal, Drew will personally provide the parts and help assembling an antenna for operating the satellites.

We will be building a version of the CJU antenna in the booth, which is a small but very effective antenna to use with an HT to copy the Mode J satellites.

Using the CJU and an HT, and the 2m radio in your car, the Mode J satellites are easy to use.

Drew requests that people interested in building the antenna contact him ahead of time for details or to RSVP for this offer.

Drew, KO4MA
