FUNcube Dongle serial #200 on eBay, and your name in space
Folks
A few minutes after Friday's sale, I had a purchaser change their mind, so rather than add the spare unit to the next sale, I'm making it generally available with all proceeds from the sale going towards AMSAT-UK launches.
Although every FUNcube Dongle sold adds to the AMSAT-UK coffers, this special unit, serial number 200, is sold with the added bonus that your name or callsign will be etched into the FUNcube spacecraft when it's launched in the next few months.

That's a fantastic idea. It's already gone beyond my toy budget though ;-)
You will let us know who the lucky winner is, won't you?

A great way to help make a bit of history, but also a great purchase for the shack. It works well, with the right antennas, for receiving amateur satellites. Software is rapidly being developed to support it, and it is also very useful as an inexpensive service monitor.
