    "content": "Most everyone knows about Funcube and how successful it has been.\nIf you look at the Funcube Warehouse page you will see that many\nhams around the world are uploading data from the satellite every\nday.  As of this morning I counted 493 different ground stations and\nthey have uploaded more than 1.15 Million data packets since late\nNovember.  About half of the stations are located in the US and\nBritain.  The other half are spread out around the world showing that\nthis is not just something that has interested those in the UK. Thirty-\nthree stations have each uploaded more than 10,000 packets!\n\nIn addition I have to give accolades to Mark Spencer, WA8SME, at the\nARRL for his excellent paper describing Funcube, its experiments and\nhow to receive it and make sense of the data.  Most everyone on the\nbirds asks about what antennas work best.  Mark seeks to quantify the\nperformance of some common antennas like the M2 circular polarized\nbeam, Arrows on rotors or fixed, with or without preamps, 5/8 wave\nand 1/4 wave ground planes.  He does that by comparing the number of\npackets received on each antenna during a pass.  The results are quite\ninteresting.  You can download the paper at: \nhttp://www.arrl.org/files/file/ETP/FUNCube%20Guide.pdf\n\nMark is the reason that the Teacher's Institute has been so successful.  If\nyou operate on the satellites you probably have heard his student teachers\nmaking contacts on the birds.  When he was living on the west coast he went\nto DN01 and DN00 and put them on the birds for those of us that chase grids.\nAfter moving to the east coast he has continued the work with satellites at\nthe League and has developed hardware for satellites including the \nFT817 interface\nand most recently a portable az/el rotator system.  We see articles about\nsatellites in QST Magazine on a regular basis and I'm sure it is because of\nhis representation at the League.  The younger generation is the future of\nAMSAT and Mark's work is certainly making a difference in terms of introducing\nthem to satellites.\n\nThe Funcube team and G6LVB have certainly encouraged our young people to get\ninterested in ham radio and satellites.  The Funcube SDR was a great fundraiser\nand facilitated students in their quest to receive data from space and learn\nfrom the experiments on board.  Congratulations to everyone involved in the\nhighly successful Funcube project.\n\n73,\nJohn K8YSE\n\n",
