I was very saddened to learn of John's passing. We had exchanged many
e-mails during the last few years. I didn't know John very well,
although we had met at the ASAT-UK Colloquium on several occasions.
Topics we discussed by e-mail included processing Delphi 3C telemetry,
OSCAR-11 spin rate,
Dear Jim and AMSAT-UK,
This is terribly sad news. John was a great

Memories of John are bittersweet... I first worked John on AO-10 in 1999 (from
Texas) and met him a year later at an amsat-uk colloquium in 2000. I had
worked John from Russia on FO-20 a few months before as R3/K5OE and we
exchanged cards at Surrey. I looked forward to meeting up with him

files and sent them to me.

I have been deeply hurt by the death of John. I know him for a very long
time and I highly respected him. We had so many good and fruitful
discussions about telemetry and analysis of data. As Andy said, with his

Sad to hear that John is gone.
He was one of the first QSO's I had in 1993 on RS10.
After that we had QSOs on many of the satellites.
I also remember him from the AMSAT-UK Colloquia where he helped to introduce
new users to satellites. Always friendly and good to talk with.
The last 3 to 4 years
AMSAT-UK is very saddened by the passing of John Heath, G7HIA. He was a long
standing member of AMSAT-UK, and contributed to the amateur space programme

and he enjoyed meeting up with his
