Dr. Jay Garlitz (AA4FL), advisor of the Gator Amateur Radio Club (W4DFU) sends the following announcement:

A College Satellite Night will be held Thursday, September 18, 2008 (local time).

This event is a great opportunity for hams that are satellite active to interact with college students and elmer a new generation!

This Thursday night, from about 5:30PM to 10:15PM we will be participating in College Satellite Night. AMSAT has activated a second repeater on AO51 Echo, and on Thursday, contacts with a school station have precedence over other contacts. Shown below is the schedule of voice satellite passes over W5YM during the event. I will try to be at the station for all these passes, and anyone who wants to participate only needs to come when its convenient for them.
