Drew Glasbrenner M/KO4MA working FO-29 at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium 2015

The AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium at the Holiday Inn,Â* Guildford
starts at 2pm on Friday, July 29 with a special session for newcomers to
the amateur satellite world.

Newcomers will be helped through the complexities by three amateurs, Dave
G4DPZ, Carlos G3VHF and Drew KO4MA, who, between them, have thousands of
hours of experience.

They will explain the theories and talk about the practice of listening to
and having satellite contacts through the ever increasing number of
satellites in orbit.

This year, there will be copies available of the very recently updated
AMSAT-NA publication Getting started with Amateur Satellites 2016.

After the Beginners Session there will be a tour of the SSTL satellite
facilities in the Kepler Building. Places on the tour are limited and
pre-registration is required, see

Pass for the Friday afternoon session can be purchased from the AMSAT-UK
shop.

The colloquium is Open to All. Programme schedule at
