[HAM-UNIV] College Satellite night Thursday December 3rd
Dr. Jay Garlitz
Thursday evening Dec. 3rd (local time) from 22:00 UTC to 0500 UTC.
>From 22:00 UTC to 05:00 UTC get on as many of the birds and make as many
contacts if you can, identifying your contacts as part of a college night
effort. Birds include AO51, SO50, AO7, VO52, should all have passes during
that time. Contact friends at other university clubs and get them to join
in.
Please QSL all the stations you work as we are planning on creating an award
for working college club stations on satellite. This makes for a great
public image for your school and rewards the stations for allowing us
coordinated use of such valuable time on the birds. Make sure to work each
other as well and we will also create a special award for college clubs that
work and confirm the most other club stations on the birds!
Let's make College Satellite nights a monthly event. Currently we have it
set for the first Thursday of the month. If you would like to work on a
team creating the awards and publicizing these events please let me know at
jgar...@ufl.edu. It would help to have on-air moderators from the east
coast, central and west coast regions, to make sure hams using the birds
know why we are there and to focus on working college stations. Stanford U
and Kansas U have been very active in recent events and would be ideal for
their two geographic areas.
