TX Factor Episode 2 Now Live

The second episode of the UK's only TV Show Dedicated to Amateur Radio is now available to view at www.txfactor.co.uk

In this episode Mike Marsh spends a blustery morning with Howard Long G6LVB in the car park at the RSGB's National Radio Centre, Bletchley Park. Howard demonstrates how easy it is to receive telemetry data from the recently launched FUNcube satellite using the FUNcube dongle, Dashboard software and a simple antenna.

Bob McCreadie remains warm and cosy inside the NRC as he talks to Howard Long and Graham Shirville G3VZV about the history of the FUNcube project. Bob gets a guided tour of the National Radio Centre with Graham Parry G7OSR, while Mike is allowed to call CQ in the radio control room
