Also make sure to e-mail or call as many ham radio clubs at other schools so that they will know about these special events and get on the air…usage and country-wide involvement is important. </span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" color="black" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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!</span></font></p>
