[amsat-bb] Tampa Hamfest announcement and request for volunteers

[Andrew Glasbrenner <glasbrenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all, 
The Tampa Hamfest is just around the corner! On December 4th and 5th, 2004 the hamfest will be open, and AMSAT will be there! AMSAT's Executive Vice President Lee McLamb, KU4OS will conduct a forum.  Get the latest news, ask questions and learn the how P3E and Eagle are just the start of AMSAT's new and exciting vision and mission. I'll be doing demonstrations on both days on both SSB and FM satellites, and I encourage anyone with an interest in satellites to plan on attending at least one demonstration. We'll have the latest offerings from AMSAT at the booth, including working demos of some of the tracking programs so you can see before you buy.

We could however use some volunteers from the membership to help out with the booth during both days. You don't have to commit to any length of time, but we'd love to have your help when you can give it. If you'd like to help out please drop me a note at ko4ma@amsat.org, or give me a call at 727 817 1091. There are lots of places for the YL/XYL in the nearby area including some of the best beaches in the world and a _large_ outlet shopping center in nearby Ellenton. If you want to stay overnight there is reasonable lodging in the area.

Here's the link to the hamfest webpage: http://www.fgcarc.org

Hope to see you there!

73, Drew KO4MA
