New RSGB Video

/

As part of the RSGB ‘Get on the air to care’ campaign, and to link with British Science Week, the RSGB are launching a series of videos this week

Aimed at new Foundation, Intermediate or Full licence holders, the six videos introduce some useful practical skills to help them make the most of their licence. The videos get more detailed through the series with a growing level of skill required.

They are giving a quick preview in their trailer released Sunday and will release the videos over the coming week.

ISS contact using 40 year old Computer

/

In this lighthearted video shows a project to contact the packet radio digipeater on the International Space Station using a 1980s vintage Commodore 64 home computer. Quite apt for Expedition 64!

It's made for retro-computing fans and a general audience and introduces hobby radio and space communications in an exciting way.
