WRAPS: a portable satellite antenna rotator system

The January 2014 edition of *QST* contains an article by ARRL Education and
Technology Program Coordinator *Mark Spencer WA8SME* on a portable azimuth
and elevation rotator system for tracking satellites called *WRAPS*

WRAPS stands for Wobbler RadFxSat Antenna Pointing
System<http://amsat-uk.org/2013/12/12/wraps-a-portable-satellite-antenna-rotator-system/>rotator
system which Mark developed to support tracking CubeSats such as
FUNcube-1 and the upcoming Fox-1 and RadFxSat/Fox-1B. His target audience
includes school groups who want to access the capabilities of the CubeSats.

Thanks to Mark and the ARRL a copy of the article in PDF format is
available on the AMSAT-UK website along with a video of a presentation Mark
gave on the system, see
