X-Mailer: Unknown (No Version) Two pijnts... 1) Satellites Having just joined Amsat (because I felt I 'ought' to) I'm less than impressed with a) Oscar News which has had no technical content in the two issues so far received, and b) The Amsat -UK web site. In spite of supposed to being able to log in I can't after several requests. Seems there is nothing there anyway So all in all, don't look to much from the UK Am satellite scene. 2) Constructional articles Radcom is always looking out for things. My new column can continue based on years of my own-experimentation and building in quintillions of different subject areas from DC to pink light, digits and analogue, but I would like input from others. Anything that isn't yet another wire antenna or a new H-Mode mixer, and certainly no valves would be welcome; mid-range to upper end technology is preferred using modern(ish, in amateur terms) devices. Don't want to cover simple basics, that is best left to Eamon and Ian in their columns. Waiting... Andy G4JNT www.scrbg.org/g4jnt
