<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">This should be a pretty fun demo and talk night! We have a cool HP construction demo, and also a really cool Talk/Demo of a DIY telemetry system that actually makes a rocket "talk" its altitude and other flight data back to "ground control"! </p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">* Bob: Demo how to make perfect, High Power fin fillets, the easy way!</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"></p>

<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"> - Description of the V.T.S.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"> - The rocket, and ground receiving equipment, used to conduct the test,</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"> (focusing on the ebay electronics)</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"> - A partial live demo (pre-launch transmission only) of the VTS</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"> - Playback of a recording of the actual down-link audio from the test </p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"> flight *</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"> - Lessons learned.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"></p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">If you were not lucky enough to see Charley's prototype demo of this system at the VAST meeting a few months ago, see here for a preview:</p>

<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"></p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">Charley will be demoing the new flight-ready version of his V.T.S. Since it sends its simulated human voice over 2m ham radio, if you have a 2m ham ht radio, bring it! :)</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"></p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">If other's have HP rockets they want to bring and show off, please do! Just let the officers know if you need some table space or any IT resources (projector, multimedia, etc).</p>
