The signal levels from ARISSat-1 should be similar to those expected from the AMSAT-UK FUNcube-1 satellite (and also from UKube-1) and the AMSAT-UK team are keen to discover what will be the minimum and best type of antennas for schools to use.

To encourage everyone to receive and report the ARISSat-1 145.920 MHz BPSK telemetry signals AMSAT-UK are offering a FUN reward for listeners!
