Yesterday, 28th of September, the first dutch amateur satellite day “Interessedag Amateursatellieten” was held.<\/p>\n
The idea came from Ivo PA1IVO, Rob PE1ITR and Henk PA3GUO and was also discussed in the train back from the AMSAT-UK colloquium between myself and Ivo. Now, finally after some years, it happened!<\/p>\n
The program can be found at Ivo’s website<\/a><\/p>\n We had presentations and hands-on sessions during the day, and some 50 people attended the lecture sessions. I have presented on FUNcube and AMSAT-NL. The FUNcube presentation can be found here<\/a><\/p>\n We also made some QSO’s through the FUNcube-1 EM<\/a> (Engineering Model) transponder.<\/p>\n More to follow!
