The Chertsey Radio Club<\/a><\/strong> got some good publicity for both amateur radio and the FUNcube-1 (AO-73) satellite in the Heathrow Villager newspaper published on November 4, 2017.<\/p>\n

Club members James Preece M0JFP<\/strong>, Ian Parbery 2E0IPP<\/strong> and Bob Conduit M6FLT<\/strong> along with the 6th Staines Scout Group ran a Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) station GB6SS.<\/p>\n

During the event the FUNcube-1 satellite transmitted a special Fitter Message<\/strong><\/a> from Space that the Scouts successfully decoded, it said:
\n“ChertseyRC: GB6SS have fun celebrating 60 years of JOTA 6th Staines Scouts, Cubs and Beavers 20 Oct 17”<\/em><\/p>\n
