in Columbia on Nov. 28 - Dec. 8, 1983,

amateur "ham" radio from on board a
Space Shuttle vehicle in Columbia.

We had a wonderful time and are planning another
joint hospitality suite during Hamvention 2000...
DON'T MISS THE NEXT ONE!!!!!!!!!!
 

FYI, HamVention 2000 is going to be the
National Convention of the ARRL.

This will certainly be an historic
event that you won't want to miss!

ARRL will be transmitting as W1AW / 8.
All amateurs will get a chance to
operate from that historic site.

Till next year, 73' from Dayton HamVention 1999...
