Anyone on UMSF into Ham Radio?
I'm thinking of getting in to it, but only as a means to an ends (setting up a groundstation for Balloon flights, and Cubesats) I'm booked into the Amsat UK conference at the end of July in Guildford. I know a few of the CUSpaceflight badgerworks guys are going to be there. My current plan is to grab a fairly cheap UHF/VHF handheld to get my license with. A hand-held UHF/VHF arrow antennae to 'manually' listen in to sats to begin with - which can then be mounted on a rotator at some future point, and then upgrade to a better receiving set at some point.

Lecture 10 from here - http://www.batc.tv/channel.php ( http://www.batc.tv/vod/AMSAT-UK_L10.flv direct link ) actually has the maths behind Ham Radio DIRECT from Mars to Earth if Amsat-DE can put together the cash to get a satellite up there. Just a 60cm dish would get 400bps
