AMSAT Annual Meeting Remote Participation via EchoLink

Detta år går det att vara med via EchoLink på vissa föredrag på AMSAT-NAs årsmöte. Läs mer nedan:

The 2014 AMSAT Symposium will be held Friday, Saturday, and Sunday,
Oct 10-12 in Baltimore.  The Annual Meeting will be held Saturday
afternoon from 15:45 – 17:15 EDT (19:45z – 21:15z) and will be
broadcast via EchoLink on the *AMSAT* channel.  The Annual Meeting
includes a report to the membership by the President and Senior
Officers and includes a question and answer session where members may
ask senior officers and BoD members questions.  Echolink participants
may send questions using the text messaging feature of EchoLink.

Some of Friday and Saturday’s Symposium presentations may also be
available via EchoLink, as these will be used to test the EchoLink
hardware, software, and Internet connection.  See
http://www.amsat.org
for the Symposium schedule and the titles and times of the
presentations.

If you haven’t used EchoLink before, you need to download the
software and validate your license *NOW*.  EchoLink use is restricted
to licensed radio amateurs, because EchoLink is frequently used to
remotely key amateur radio transmitters and repeaters.  The
validation process is used to prove that you are licensed.  See
http://www.echolink.org
for more information. EchoLink software is available for free for
Windows, Linux, OSX, iPhone, iPad, and Android.  An Internet
connection is required.

Once you’ve started EchoLink, search for the *AMSAT* channel (node
#101377), select it, and “Connect”.  The channel name includes
asterisks (*) both before and after AMSAT.
