Steve Hedgecock M0SHQ sending Packet Radio to the ISS

On Tuesday, February 2, Steve Hedgecock M0SHQ will give a presentation to
the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society (CARS) on amateur radio satellites,
the talk is open to all.

The main part of the presentation will be on simple satellite operation
using an FT-817 and hand held antennas. Steve will also cover amateur radio
activity on the International Space Station (ISS) including using the ISS
APRS digipeater and reception of ISS Slow Scan Television (SSTV).

The talk coincides with the mission of UK astronaut Tim Peake GB1SS on the
space station. Some of you may have already heard Tim using the amateur
radio station in the Columbus module to link up with school students as
part of the ARISS program.

The meeting takes place at the Oaklands Museum, Moulsham Street, CM2 9AQ.
The doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start, car parking and admittance are
