Our 1st Exhibition !
On August 2016, SS-1 Team held their first exhibition on the Jakarta Amateur Radio Festival (JARF), held by ORARI. The Team exhibit the newly made mock-up model of the satellite, the satellite APRS communication system and a model of the Ground Station made by the team.
Jakarta Vice Governor at the time, Mr. Djarot Saiful Hidayat, visited the event and went to the SS-1 stand. There he heard a short presentation about the project by one of our member. Visitor from other province and countries who join the festival, also came to our stand to learn more about our project.
Aside from displaying the models, our SS-1 team also had a QSO party, an event where the team tried to communicate to other people through a passing satellite. SS-1 Team learned to join the communication party with the help from an ORARI branch that used to communicate with satellite, AMSAT-ID. The equipment used to held a QSO party are an Yagi Antenna and a walkie-talkie.
