<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=5><STRONG>Presentations on P3E and the Mars Orbiter
P5A</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>The Amateur Radio Mars Orbiter <STRONG>P5A</STRONG> and
the High Earth Orbit (HEO) <STRONG>P3E</STRONG> will feature in presentations
given by <STRONG>AMSAT-DL</STRONG> on Saturday at the AMSAT-UK 'Satellite
Weekend' which is open to all. <BR><BR>The Amsat P5-A will be the first
spacecraft built by Radio Amateurs to go to the Red planet and the first ever
private interplanetary spacecraft. It will use frequencies in the Amateur
Satellite Service allocations at 2.4 and 10 GHz</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=Verdana>Pioneering spacecraft like these demonstate the
need for both the Amateur Radio and Amateur Satellite Services to have access to
Low Noise Floor allocations in the microwave spectrum so they can carry out weak
signal experimentation. <BR><BR>The P3E presentation by <STRONG>Peter Guelzow
DB2OS</STRONG> takes place at 11:30 am (1030 GMT) on Saturday. He will followed
by <STRONG>Achim Vollhardt DH2VA</STRONG> with the presentation on the Mars
Orbiter P5A. <BR><BR>Thanks to the BATC both presentations will be streamed
<EM><STRONG>live</STRONG></EM> to the web at </FONT><A
