Here are some details for the satellites we're likely to work during Field Day. The information is taken primarily from [Clint K6LCS's website](https://www.work-sat.com/), and with help from [Mike KB8BMY](http://qrz.com/db/KB8BMY) and [Frank KJ7DZ](http://qrz.com/db/KJ7DZ), with thanks. The frequencies in the tables below contain uplinks and downlinks, with Doppler shift taken into account for aquisition of signal (AOS) and loss of signal (LOS) times.

### Workshops

**Winlink**

*Cindi Barker KD7KSH, Bill Thomassen N6NBN*

This will be a ongoing hands on demostration of Winlink and the "I Am Safe" Welfare Message procedure. Bill Thomassen, N6NBN, will set up 2 or 3 Winlink stations and demostrate and give hands-on opportunity for people to send their own "I Am Safe" test messages.

**FLDigi (Fast Light Digital) on UHF/VHF**

*Christian Helfrich K7XTN*

I will set-up 3 digital stations adjacent to each other and walk through how FLDigi works, and give attendees a chance to try sending and receiving messages.
