Good to see the AMSAT educational papers being mentioned again.
I'm using James' 'Sun's Up' paper to model illumination for my FUNcube
Orbital model.

Hi Peter,
Many thanks for the link. On our FUNcube cubesat mission we are promoting,
as one of the many educational outreach subjects, the opportunity for a
group to design and build such a ranging system using the U/V linear
transponder that we will be flying on board. The same functionality

Just over a decade ago Peleg 4X1GP gave a good presentation to the annual
AMSAT-UK Colloquium in Guildford that pointed out that OFDM was the way ahead
for Amateur communications.
Well 10 years later the first OFDM Amateur transceivers have been announced.

Thanks Anthony,
Point well made. Keep up the good work and know that many in AMSAT are
behind you and will support you.

Thanks Anthony for some perspective that some of us really need. If anything
there needs to be tighter cooperation between the general AMSAT community and
the universities, and less of this adversarial nastiness and gimme mentality.
The Fox program is trying to address some of these issues by
This is a truly awesome development...

Hi Graham,
this is very good news indeed and I'm excited to hear that you will use
it on FUNcube and UKcube.. the principals of ranging are easy to
understand and I think it would be an ideal educational tool to learn
about orbital mechanics, Kepler's law, etc., even how GPS works..

Very interesting, wonder how much these will cost. I want some! :)
