College Satellite Night February 4, 2010

It’s time for another College Satellite night!  I hope to see you on Thursday evening Feb. 4th from 22:00 UTC to 0500 UTC.   College Satellite nights are a monthly event held the first Thursday of the month. Mark your calendar and spread the word to other college hams/club stations that you know!

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, HO-68 and FO-29, and they should all have passes during that time.

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!
