Coronation station HS10KING/mm on geostationary satellite

To mark the Coronation of King Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun
(King Rama X) from May 4-6, 2019 the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand
under the Patronage of His Majesty the King will be operating a
special event station

The station will be operated from the Royal Thai Navy aircraft
carrier, the Chakri Narubet, in the Gulf of Thailand from May 3-6
using the callsign HS10KING/mm.

This station will be making QSOs in the 40, 20, 15 and 10 metre HF
bands, on 2 metres VHF and also using amateur radio satellites,
including the Es'hail 2 / QO-100 satellite.

Consequently, the May meeting of RAST will be postponed to the second
Sunday of the month, and will take place on Sunday May 12 at Sena
Place Hotel when applications to take the upcoming Intermediate Class
examination will be available

As usual all RAST members are welcome to attend this meeting and
hopefully they will be able to have a QSO with HS10KING/mm.

Sincere 73,

Tony Waltham, HS0ZDX
RAST Vice-President
