M0EYT IEE lecture at Bournemouth University

There was a good turn out for a fascinating talk tonight (Thursday) by Paul
Marsh, M0EYT, the radio ham who recently made headlines for detecting radio
signals from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter at a distance of 45 million
miles from earth.

Paul described how he built and used a home-made receiver to pick up signals
from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter transmitting in X-band.

He discussed the question: As NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto gets
underway, how long can amateurs keep pace with the space race?

Since the lecture was advertised quoting the 45 million miles Paul has
obtained access to a larger dish at a local amateur radio club and
dramatically increased the distance!!
