  2. YouTube: The Addictive World of Amateur Radio Satellites
    Sep 6, 2026 · original
    The Online Amateur Radio Community (OARC) talk by John Stringer M5JFS titled ‘Chasing Birds: The Addictive World of Amateur Radio Satellites’ is now on YouTube. “An introduction to the world of amateur radio satellite working. John will start with a brief potted history of how he got hooked on this aspect of the hobby, getting started with very modest and basic gear that he had to hand and how he later developed and improved his ‘station’ to where it is today as he grew in experience and interest. He’ll then cover the types of satellites that are out there, the gear you need (or don’t need) to work them, operating etiquette and best practices, useful software, tools and social networks, and finally he’ll tell us about a few notable moments and achievements that he’s had in his 6 years on the birds.” The Online Amateur Radio Community (OARC) on Discord has a dedicated channel for discussi
  3. Petition for Amateur Transponder on Bangladesh Satellite-2
    Aug 17, 2026 · original
    Matthias Bopp DD1US has passed on the following information from Hasibul Hasan Seyam S21HMX: The Amateur Radio Society of Bangladesh (ARSB) is seeking support for its application to Bangladesh Satellite Company Limited (BSCL) for the allocation of a dedicated amateur radio transponder payload aboard Bangladesh Satellite-2. Such a transponder would provide an important platform for amateur radio communication, technical education, international collaboration, and emergency/disaster communication. By signing this petition, you express your support for this initiative and your interest in using the proposed transponder for legitimate, non-commercial amateur radio activities, including technical experimentation and emergency communications. Your signature will be submitted to BSCL solely as evidence of amateur radio community support for this initiative. International Petition of Support Fol
  4. OSCAR News Editor Vacancy
    Aug 3, 2026 · original
    AMSAT-UK has been without a volunteer editor for Oscar News since mid-2024 and this has greatly hampered our ability to produce Oscar News on a regular basis – the last one produced was April 2025. The original editor was responsible for sourcing all the material for Oscar News as well as typesetting the document and creating the pdf version for the website and for creating the printed edition. Without him, we have have not been able to produce OSCAR News on the schedule we would have liked too. Several members of the committee have also not been in the best of health and those that remain are either heavily involved in designing and building FUNcube+, our follow on satellite from FUNcube 1, or fully committed to their day jobs, with little time to spare for a major volunteering role. We have been advertising this fact to the members for over two years, requesting help and for someone, o
  5. AMSAT-UK Colloquium Update

    AMSAT-UK Logo The annual AMSAT-UK colloquium is fast approaching. Once again, it is being held at The Kent’s Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes alongside the RSGB Convention on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October 2026.

It is approximately a 5 minute drive from Kents Hill. Details of the hotel, and available accommodation, can be found at https://hotelwoughtonhouse.co.uk/ The AMSAT-UK Gala Dinner will be held at the Woughton House Hotel on the evening of Saturday 10th October 2026. This will be a 3 course meal with tea / coffee which is priced at £39.00 per person. Attendance is restricted this year and a limited number of tickets

  10. Students On The Air Satellite Activity Starts March 3
    Mar 1, 2026 · original
    AMSAT has announced the launch of Students On The Air (StOTA) Days, a new initiative aimed at encouraging student participation in amateur satellite operations. The activity was inspired by AMSAT President Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, and his son Carsten, KQ4SJM, and is designed to promote regular on-air activity among licensed student operators. Students are encouraged to get on the air and operate via amateur satellites on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, beginning March 3, 2026. While student-to-student contacts are especially encouraged, all satellite operators are welcome to participate and help make students feel welcome on the air. To support coordination, AMSAT has created a dedicated #students-on-the-air channel on the AMSAT Discord Server where participants can arrange contacts and share activity.
