\n<\/p>\n

\"2024-07AMSAT-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.<\/p>\n

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.
\nSeveral 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.<\/p>\n

We have been advertising this fact to the members for over two years, requesting help and for someone, or preferably several people, to step forward and help us fill that important gap. We have said that our preference is to have a team of people producing Oscar News so that the impact on one person is not significant but despite requests, notices, emails to members and announcements at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium, we have not had any offers of assistance.<\/p>\n

We have recently had a new member of AMSAT-UK come forward to help source and collate the content for OSCAR News and we now have a commercial arrangement for a typesetter and printer in place. Committee members that have been able to contribute to a new Oscar News have been doing so and we do have the making of a new edition of OSCAR News which we plan to publish by the end of August.<\/p>\n

Have you been involved in some activity, operations or construction project that you would like to share with the AMSAT-UK membership?<\/p>\n

The AMSAT-UK Committee would welcome contributions from its members to the upcoming edition. IF you have any contribution, please consider forwarding it to us at editor@amsat-uk.org and we will be in touch.<\/p>\n

The deadline for submissions is 9th August 2026<\/p>\n

Thank you and 73<\/p>\n

Ciaran, M0XTD
\nAMSAT-UK Membership Secretary<\/p>\n
