On Saturday at 9:05 am (0805 GMT) the Delfi-C3 team will be giving presentations on their exciting new satellite at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium being held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, England July 25-27th.
Thanks to the BATC the presentations will be streamed live via the Internet to a worldwide audience. This free service can be viewed at http://www.batc.tv/
Later that day at 11:30 am (1030 GMT) there will be two presentations from AMSAT-DL. These will be on the eagerly awaited P3E High Earth Orbiting satellite and the pioneering Mars Orbiter P5A. This will be the first private venture spacecraft to travel to the Red Planet providing Radio Amateurs with some true low distance signals to receive.
For further details see http://www.uk.amsat.org/Colloquium/ Programme: http://www.uk.amsat.org/content/view/640/213/ Travel information: http://www.uk.amsat.org/content/view/23/52/
A site map showing location of the Management Building and the adjacent main car park and conference visitors parking can be seen at http://www.uk.amsat.org/images/stories/uosmap6.jpg
New for 2008, it has been arranged with the University for "walkin" day visitors for £10 per day. For this, you do not get any meals, only attendance at lectures/beginners sessions. It does not entitle you to any other of the functions. There is no need to book, just turn up on the day. It would help if you could let us know in advance if you intend using this facility, please email g3wgm@amsat.org

Hi Bill, N6GHz
Delfi-C3 (DO-64) was still in science mode during orbit 1298 to day july 24 and the digital beacon at 145.930 MHz was very strong on RHCP
The Delfi-C3 team will present the satellite on saturday 26 at 08:05 UTC during Colloquium in Surrey and since they plan to activate the transponder before to fly to England I guess that probably they will switch ON the transponder tomorrow 26 july.
The transponder power is only 400 mW pep and the CW beacon at 145.870 MHz is 10 dB belove the transponder pep i.e. only 40 mW
Do you have any information about the maximum permittet EIRP ?
