AMSAT News Service Bulletin 124.02 From AMSAT HQ
Silver Spring, MD. May 4, 2003
To All Radio Amateurs
BID: $ANS-124.02
To All AMSAT Members,
As your President, I am reviewing the situation for the
location of the 2002 Annual Meeting and Space Symposium.
Currently this is due to be held in Toronto later this
year in October.
The outbreak of SARS in Toronto has caused some worry by
travellers to and from Toronto, but let me assure you that
at present the SCARS outbreak appears to be under control
and is being limited to a few Health care facilities.
Should the situation change for the worse, then we will make
a change (Washington DC and Orlando are being considered)
however current indications are that within a month the
situation will have changed for the better and
that we will continue with Toronto.
I will keep you updated.

Robin Haighton VE3FRH
President AMSAT
UPDATE: May 2, 2003 "Robin reports that it is now 3 weeks since any memb=
er
of the Toronto general public has been confirmed with a case of SARS. The
number of people in isolation is reducing as their isolation time expires
and it would appear that the situation is improving everyday. Robin will
provide additional information on a regular basis".
[ANS thanks Robin, VE3FRH, for the above information]
