I can see updating web pages as a way I can help to some small degree. Recently clicked on amsat sites where some pages have not been updated in years. Even if the info is still valid it looks bad. Having worked in education am happy to get involved in that direction, you will know that experience.

Mostly I have done the microcontroller aspect of that. Over recent years I have been mainly involved in I.T. admin in schools Steve Hi Steve. Thanks for the reply. Always good to know that someone is interested in supporting the AMSAT cause. The ESEO project is being funded (hardware only) by AMSAT UK while the launch is supplied by ESA Education. It's an educational project with a small role for AMSAT. Currently we need some expertise for a 2m TX and some satellite antennas...although hopefully the antennas shouldn't be too much of a problem. http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Education/SEMA0NEMKBF_0.html Great on the PSU for TWT's. - with the microcontroller aspect of management. Perhaps I can 'store' that in case we need a hand in those areas in the future. Is it the PIC variety or ARM or some other specialised type you are familiar with? I'm working at a school as a science technician at present, so possibly I can appreciate your working environment quite well. Half term in 3 days. - Yippee.
