AMSAT NEWS SERVICE SPECIAL BULLETIN ANS-272 02

In this edition:

• AO-92 Remaining in U/v For Potential Emergency Traffic

SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-272 02 ANS-272 AMSAT News Service Special Bulletin

AMSAT News Service Bulletin 272 02 From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD DATE September 29, 2019 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-272 02

Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, AMSAT VP Operations has received a request from amateurs involved with emergency communications in the Azores, requesting we forego L/v operation on AO-92 this week

Hurricane Lorenzo is expected to pass through the Azores as a Cate- gory 4 storm Tuesday and Wednesday, and they are requesting AO-92 remain in U/v for potential emergency traffic Please be aware of and yield to any emergency traffic, on any satellite, coming from the area during this time Passes covering the Azores and Portugal are the most critical

We realize that there have been a few moves and cancellations for this mode recently, and I ask for understanding and cooperation Emergency use is always first priority, and AMSAT is happy to assist in any way we can

[ANS thanks Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, AMSAT VP Operations for the above information]
