Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers

I am pleased to announce that Dr. Miguel Morales, professor of physics and radio astronomy at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, has agreed to give the keynote speech at the 2021 SARA Spring Conference on April 3, 2021. Dr. Morales is the leader of the Radio Cosmology Group at the UW and has been the chief scientist for the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in Australia.

The 2021 SARA Spring Conference will be held on Zoom, April 3, 2021.  This virtual conference will replace the annual SARA Western Conference because of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

So 2020 tried to keep us from having an annual meeting.  Not so fast.

On March 5, the SARA Western Conference coordinator was notified that the Very Large Array (VLA) facility would not be able to host the 2020 Western Conference this year due to concerns about the corona virus outbreak.
