In the February issue of Practical Wireless the excellent Data Modes column, written by Mike Richards G4WNC, devotes three pages to describing how to receive the signals from the FUNcube-1 (AO-73) satellite which was launched on November 21, 2013.

The World of VHF column by Tim Kirby G4VXE also covers FUNcube-1 and what is believed to be the first contact between Cuba and the UK on the FO-29 satellite. The contact took place on October 19, 2013 between Hector Martinez CO6CBF and Peter Atkins G4DOL.
