Historical AMSAT-NA Symposium Proceedings
Gathered here are selected historical AMSAT-NA Symposium Proceedings, from 1987 to 2006, in descending order. These were donated to me by Cliff Buttschardt K7RR (SK), who passed away in June 2006. These proceedings are put into the public domain to spread the knowledge of building amateur satellites.
