The invitation to MARTS to host a booth, completely sponsored by ANGKASA, will see MARTS increase its level of publicity, especially to the younger audience. Your effort, and willingness to share your experience, and knowledge with this young audience, will hopefully see a better pick up rate of Amateur Radio as a key hobby in the coming years. So, please put all your differences aside (if any) to help!

Dear All,

The intention is to host two booths and to provide information and demonstration in one, as well as showcase equipment in the other.
Suggestions, include, a workshop in one hour to build and assemble 5 element ARDF antenna; Communication with ISS; Communication vis Echolink.org;
Workshop to build RF/voip interface; workshop to setup basic radio comms; morse demonstration;

please give your input on how to make it more impressive;
