2004 AMSAT-DC MEETING AND SPACE SEMINAR
The local AMSAT members invite all space enthusiasts to the next Maryland-DC
area annual AMSAT Meeting and Space Seminar. Students, educators,
experimenters and all Amateur Radio operators are welcome. We start at 1
2:00 noon this year. Mark your calendar for Sunday, March 21. Same place
as last year, namely the Visitor Center auditorium at the NASA Goddard Space
Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Maryland.
The topics relate to the amateur space program, Amateur Radio, homebrew
electronic projects, high-altitude balloon experiments, telemetry and
related items.
The format is a combination of presentations, informal "show 'n' tell"
demonstrations and a social period. Normally the first presentations and the
keynote address are designed to be especially valuable for the beginner
satellite operator.
Informal talk-in is on WA3NAN/R 146.835 MHz Greenbelt.
The Visitor Center phone number is 301-286-8981.
Donations will be accepted to help offset the associated seminar costs.
Free paved parking is available on site.
Map and directions:
