I wonder\nif we might discuss some educational outreach ideas here on the\namsat-bb.\n\nI've often thought that a project like this could be used to 'seed'\nradio clubs in local schools. My experience suggests that these could\nbe touted as 'Space Communicator Clubs', not specifically ham radio\nclubs. They would concentrate, in the first instance, on the many\ninteresting things that can be done with reception, not transmission,\nthus keeping the threshold for participation low enough that large\nnumbers of students would participate.\n\nI think a cubesat project could really aid in making these 'Space\nCommunicator Clubs' more vital. First, if the idea is proposed on a\nwebsite in some sort of formal way, it gives the local satellite\noperator an 'in' with the school administration. Principals and\nvice-Principals will be more happy to support something like this if\nthey think that it is happening around the world. In fact, they might\nfeel a bit of an obligation to keep up with other schools. (The\nproblem I can see with their assistance is that we might need to pass\ncables to the out-of-doors.) Second, a cubesat project could help by\noffering a certificate of participation to all students involved in\nthe construction of a station that receives telemetry.\n\nIn any case, I'd like to request that any sort of ancillary\neducational opportunities for FUNsat be presented not as for UK\nstudents alone , but that it encourages educators and students from\nall over the world. I think, in fact, the very distance to the UK from\nNew Brunswick, Canada would make recognition from an organization in\nthe UK all the more exciting to administrators and students here.\n\n73, Bruce\nVE9QRP\n\n> It was good to see Drew and Peter this year and get an update of the\n> AMSAT-NA & AMSAT-DL\n> activities, respectively.\n>\n> 73\n>\n> Dave\n>\n> The committee\n> JoAnne Maenpaa wrote:\n>> Hello David, and everyone,\n>>\n>>\n>>> AMSAT-UK has announced a new amateur satellite project - FUNcube\n>>> ... received major initial funding from the Radio Communications\n>>> Foundation (RCF)\n>>>\n>>\n>> First, congratulations to AMSAT-UK on your exciting new project!\n>>\n>> This is an excellent example of the premise that AMSAT needs to create a\n>> mission that excites possible funding sources ... with a positive side\n>> effect that Amateur Radio gets to use a new linear transponder in orbit.\n>>\n>> Well done!\n>> --\n>> 73 de JoAnne K9JKM\n>> [email protected]\n>>\n",
