BAA RAG: The Circular is published!

The British Astronomical Association Radio Astronomy Group (BAA RAG) are a group interested in Radio Astronomy.

They listen on 2695 MHz, 151 Mhz and 30 kHz and have developed receiver kits for these bands which may also be of interest to Radio Amateurs.

They, like Radio Amateurs, have also had reasons to be concerned about recent changes in Ofcom policy in the microwave bands.

BAA RAG have just published their first newsletter which can be downloaded from the web, details are given below.

We have been working all through the last couple of months to gather material for this issue, and have republished some items to make sure that everyone is up to date. These efforts have resulted in the first issue being 48 printed pages, so it is quite a read...

We apologise for the large size of the PDF, but unfortunately it is too large to be distributed by email!
So, please go to our website at: http://www.britastro.com/radio/ in order to download the Circular.

You will also find downloads for the Exhibition posters, and the publicity flyer. Unfortunately the website development has still taken second place to the publication of the Circular, so it's a fairly basic home page for now. Just right-click on a link, and choose 'save target as' in your browser.

If you don't have Adobe's reader software, there's a download link for that too. If you have a slow 'net
connection, and would rather receive the Circular in printed form, then please contact Karen Holland for details. There will be a small charge for this service.

The website PDF has been sampled at 96dpi, but the printed
version will be 300dpi, so the quality of the photographs will be much higher.

Very many thanks to Callum Potter for helping me to get the material on the web server!

The team have worked hard to produce this issue, and would welcome your feedback, be it positive or negative. It is highly motivating for us to hear from you about our efforts.

Why not take the opportunity to write a 'Letter to the Editor' for the next issue, or even write an article or send in a photograph? We really would like to hear from you!
