Their article, on pages 18-23, describes an easy to build 2.4 and 10 GHz dish feed, using commonly available materials, for Es’hail-2 / QO-100 deployment. The feed consists of a LHCP patch antenna for 2.4 GHz and a waveguide feed for 10 GHz, to be placed in the focal point of commonly available and cheap offset satellite TV dishes with f/D’s of around 0.6

FUNcube Data Warehouse URL Change

Dave G4DPZ reports on a change to the URL used by the AMSAT-UK Data Warehouse for the FUNcube amateur radio satellites.

As part of the migration of the data warehouse to the new server, we are now redirecting all dashboard data submissions to: http://data.amsat-uk.org/
(there is no need to change your dashboard settings)
Hence, all information at http://warehouse.funcube.org/ will no longer be updated.

I will be merging the scores at http://data.amsat-uk.org/ranking
(I am at the top of the list because of data migration)

You can search for your site name or order the columns by clicking on the column header.

There have been requests for the existing style of ranking, including age colour, for each satellite. I will be implementing this in the next couple of days.

Hope you like the new site and and feedback will be welcome.
