Amateur Radio is an excellent training resource for skills that are applied in the work place, home and for public service. Membership is not limited to licensed hams and training classes are available to assist you in obtaining an Amateur Radio license with a unique call sign. Meetings are informal and often held via radio nets. For more information, please contact Jim Byrd, 45961 or John Parker, 41899. Visit http://larc-exchange .larc.nasa.gov/lea/amateur-radio

Amateur Satellite Observers - The Amateur Satellite Observers (of Southeast Virginia) is involved with assisting individuals and families in the observation of earth orbiting satellites with the unaided eye. This includes boost phase observations of the Space Shuttle, on orbit observations of satellites such as the International Space Station, and reentry observations of the Shuttle. These events are exciting to view but infrequent. Communicating when and where to observe these events is one of the primary goals of this largely information and media oriented group.
