The AMSAT-UK Colloquium takes place this weekend September 15-16 at the
Holiday Inn, Guildford, GU2 7XZ, UK and is open to all.
The Colloquium is a truly international event and will include:
Exclusive access to inspect the new Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL)
clean room and integration facilities at the recently opened Kepler
Building. If you have visited their previous facilities at the university
campus, during previous Colloquia, you will be amazed by what is happening
now.
Presentations by experts from AMSAT-SA, AMSAT-NA and AMSAT-DL on their
current spacecraft projects.
CubeSat presentations on UKube-1, STRaND-1, STRaND-2a/b and, of course the
FUNcube-1 project.
We will be including an exclusive roundup of a number of new live and
potential spacecraft projects that are under investigation and/or development.
Additionally a number of presentations are planned covering new
communications techniques and similar futuristic topics, along with the
launch of the new FUNcube Dongle PRO-Plus Software Defined Radio (SDR) on
the Saturday.
Plus all the usual networking opportunities, the gala dinner and
auction/raffle, plus the opportunity to operate the sophisticated ground
station in the GB4FUN mobile demonstration module.
The weekend event is open to all and attracts an audience that ranges from
those involved in building and operating Amateur Radio satellites to
beginners who wish to find out more about this fascinating branch of the
hobby.
All accommodation will be at the Holiday Inn hotel. Rooms and Saturday?s
Gala Dinner must be booked in advance in the AMSAT-UK shop at

Thank you to all who helped me with NOVA. I really feel dumb about my
mistake of not looking up the REAL name of a satellite. I appreciate no
one mentioning my ignorance.
Thank you to all who commented on my camera on a beam. I forgot about
the need for a telephoto lens. I also was not thinking about the
advantage of the az-el rotator with respect to looking around the
neighborhood(thanks Bob!). If I could get the correct keps, maybe I
could even follow movement. Don't be surprised if I post some unusual
photos instead of the green cheese on the moon.
I have been a Ham for over 50 years and I am still trying to figure all
of this stuff out. Working satellites has been my highlight of my 50+
years. This is one helluva great hobby!
Thanks Everyone,

Hi all,
After 7 weeks of operating our Flagship Olympic and Paralympic event
station 2O12W ( Two Oscar One Two Whisky ). We made over 17.000 contacts
and
in the early stages I was able to dedicate some time to
satellite contacts (over 40 ) and included the USA and Canada . The
contacts were mainly via FO-29 and VO-52
Alas I was unable to give my time to the better passes of AO-7 sorry to
say.
Due to local QRM I was also unable to make a contact with Cuba which I had
a request for.
Thanks to all for your support and patience with the contacts both on
satellite and HF with this perhaps once in life opportunity of an Olympic
Flagship in Wales.
The flame has gone out but the throat will be burning for a bit longer Hi!
Hi!
Having caught up with the news I listened for "PROITERES" this morning
from my home QTH and was able to hear the satellite quite well with just my
usual "ELK" antenna.
"Congratulations to the team and all concerned "
