Dave Johnson G4DPZ is willing to give talks to local amateur radio clubs in the West Midlands and Warwickshire area about the new satellite FUNcube-1.
In late November 2013 FUNcube-1 will be launched into Low Earth Orbit. On board will be a UHF/VHF Linear transponder for SSB/CW communications along with a high power beacon for transmitting telemetry for educational (STEM) purposes, for reception by schools. Details of the satellite can be found at: http://www.funcube.org.uk
Any West Midlands/Warwickshire area club interested in having a talk on the design, development, launch and operation of the satellite should contact Dave on:
email: dave at g4dpz dot me dot uk
Dave can clearly only cover a small part of the country and AMSAT-UK would like to hear from anyone in other parts of the country who would be prepared to give a talk on FUNcube-1 to a local club.
PowerPoint slides to support a talk are available at http://funcubetest2.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/funcube_oct2013fin.ppt
