AMSAT-UK

AMSAT-UK, the British Amateur Television Club (BATC), and the UK Microwave Group (UKuG) are teaming up to showcase satellite communications, amateur television, and microwave radio experimentation. Throughout the weekend we plan to demonstrate how radio amateurs communicate via satellites in both low-Earth orbit and geostationary orbit, including contacts and digital amateur television through the QO-100 satellite. We also hope to demonstrate microwave operating techniques and experimental radio systems used on the higher amateur bands. Visitors can see live satellite ground-station setups, microwave equipment, and amateur television demonstrations, and learn how hobbyists build and operate space-related radio technology. The village will also be active on the air using the EMF special event callsign GB26EMF. Drop by to explore satellites, video over radio, and the microwave spectrum!
