The 2013 AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium will start late afternoon
on Friday, July 19 and will run through until the afternoon on Sunday, July
21 at the Holiday Inn, Guildford, GU2 7XZ, UK.
It will be preceded by an exciting ?Hands-on? CubeSat Workshop which will
take place at the nearby University of Surrey on the Friday and this will be
followed, at the hotel, by the usual Colloquium ?Beginners Session? in the
late afternoon.
A number of keynote presentations have already been arranged for the
Colloquium. These include Alistair Scott, the President of the British
Interplanetary Society. The BIS has, over many decades, developed ideas and
concepts about the future of space travel and both Patrick Moore and Arthur
C Clarke were members. Alistair has had many years experience working in the
space industry and will be reviewing the future possibilities for ventures
into space both small and large. The BIS is presently developing one of the
Sprites for the Kicksat mission and Andrew Vaudin will be presenting a paper
about this and also providing a demonstration.
It is anticipated that both the FUNcube-1 and FUNcube-2 missions will be
launched later this year and the FUNcube team will be on hand to talk about
the missions and the planned educational outreach. A full demonstration of
the Engineering Model, which has been performing flawlessly for almost a
year, will also be provided.
On the Sunday, the General Manager of the RSGB, Graham Coomber, G0NBI will
be talking about the Society?s vision of the future of amateur radio and how
amateur satellites can play a major part in helping to secure that future.
We will also have updates on a number of the other current amateur satellite
projects including HAMtv from the ISS, spectrum matters, operating methods,
new products etc. Additionally there will be a satellite demonstration
station operating over the weekend and visits to the new technical
facilities at the University are planned.
There are still a few slots available for additional speakers, so if you
would like to make a presentation, please contact Dave Johnson e-mail: dave
at g4dpz dot me dot uk as soon as possible.
The AMSAT-UK organising committee looks forward to welcoming both regular
attendees and newcomers ? you can be assured of a warm welcome and an
exciting weekend.

Seeing how he is pretty rare, it would be great if people would make the
contact and move on so others can work him, not chit chat about everything
under the sun. Just my 2 cents.

Nice!
Has anyone figured out any ground station requirements? Antenna gain,
polarization, receiving equipment etc...
