Ok, consider yourself funded for 250 pounds, who else would like to chip in?

I'm really really rusty on VHF, do not have any required licenses and all my HAM contacts have dried up due to old age so that's pretty much all I think I can help with. The most I did in hardware terms in the last 6 months was to make an old Unitra grammophone work again, not quite in the right league :).

Thanks for that. Good to know I'm not alone in thinking that talking to that satellite would be awesome.

Mail me your IBAN please and I'll wire you the money, maybe do an official call-out for this project on your blog? That might get you some more help and/or funding. I really hope that you get this done, beware that there are a number of other satellites transmitting on the exact same frequency.
