Sign Up for NAB Satellite Uplink Operators Training Seminar
October 5 - 8, 2009
Washington, DC

Satellite interference costs your station time and money. If you or your operations staff has not received formal training for operating your uplink facilities, sign up for NAB's Satellite Uplink Operators Training Seminar. The course will be offered Oct. 5 to 8, 2009, at NAB's headquarters in Washington D.C.

This four-day course is designed to instruct about uplink operational practices, which minimize the risk of satellite transmission interference. This is an important course since the FCC rules require that a trained operator be present at all times during transmissions, either an earth station site or designated remote control point. Go to http://www.nab.org/satelliteSeminar/ or contact NAB Science & Technology Department at (202) 429-5346 or ccolerid@nab.org for information about the NAB Satellite Uplink Operators Training Seminar. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities for this event contact NAB Advertising at (800) 521-8624 or advertising@nab.org.
