KICKER: CELEBRATING 50 YEARS BY WORKING ALL STATES - BY SATELLITE

PAUL/ANCHOR: We end this week's report with a story of sky-high
ambitions. Inspired by the W1AW "Worked All States" event for the
ARRL's centennial, the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, or
AMSAT,  is marking its 50th anniversary by asking hams to aim high -
something our antennas do naturally anyway. The group has launched
W3ZM as its Worked-All-States Satellite activation, with members
from around the U.S., the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico,
calling QRZ, using that call sign. It has all been in preparation
for AMSAT's 50th Anniversary Space Symposium and General Meeting,
which opens in Arlington, Virginia, on the 18th of October -- not
far from where AMSAT was founded in Washington a half century ago.
In late June, AMSAT members got on the air via satellite from their
home QTH, their cars, anyplace where opportunity and inspiration
converged. If you look at the printed version of this week's Newsline
script, you'll see the website where their activation schedules are
being posted.

Executive Vice President Paul Stoetzer  N8HM said the informal event
has attracted more than 1,000 contacts since the summer. Help
celebrate their 50 years on earth by joining them in the sky.
