Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers

The 2023 SARA Eastern Conference will be held at the Green Bank Observatory, West Virginia, Sunday through Tuesday, 20-22 August 2023.
SARA has traditionally held our Eastern Conferences at GBO, and we are very pleased to return following a two-year hiatus due to COVID.
With radio astronomy as its foundation, the Green Bank Observatory (GBO) is a world leader in advancing research, innovation, and education.

The 2023 SARA Western Conference will be held at Bishop, California at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory on Friday and Saturday, 17 and 18 March 2023. OVRO is operated by California Institute of Technology and is located about 20 miles southeast of Bishop.

Dr. Wolfgang Herrmann received his PhD from the university of Bonn. The subject matter of the thesis was laser spectroscopy, which was also the subject of his subsequent work at the IBM research labs in Zurich and the GKSS research center in Hamburg. He moved on to work in the telecommunication industry where he served as member of the board of a company making advanced communication systems.
