*Volunteer at the AMSAT Booth – (Building 1, 1007-1010 & 1107-1110)*
AMSAT is actively seeking volunteers to assist with booth activities and
invites enthusiasts to dedicate their time. Last year, around
20 volunteers played crucial roles in fostering meaningful interactions
with attendees. Volunteers, whether able to commit a few hours or the
entire weekend, are warmly encouraged to participate.
For those eager to be part of AMSATs presence at Dayton Hamvention or
request more information about volunteering, Phil Smith, W1EME, AMSAT
Hamvention Team Leader, serves as the point of contact. To volunteer or
inquire further, individuals can reach out to Phil via email at w1eme [at]
astrocom.net. Your involvement not only enriches the event but also
contributes to the vibrant amateur radio community.
*AMSAT Forum – Saturday, May 17th *
The AMSAT Forum will take place in Forum Room 2 at 1:35pm – 3:10pm on
Saturday, May 17th. This will immediately follow the ARISS Forum in the
same room at 12:40pm, so get there early and see both presentations!
