[Ground-station] [SBMS] Last Call for IMS2023 11-15 June 2003

[Michelle Thompson]

Good news:

IMS2023 will compensate volunteers for Exhibit Only passes for the Ham
Radio Demo presenters. I have a code to be used at registration and will be
sending it to everyone that's volunteered so far. Want to get in on the
fun? Let me know.

IMS has arranged for parking passes at the Hilton Bayfront for the
presenters for Tuesday, 13 June.  Parking details will be sent to us as we
get closer to the event.
