The Chertsey Radio Club got some good publicity for amateur radio in
the Heathrow Villager newspaper published on November 4

Club members James Preece M0JFP, Ian Parbery 2E0IPP and Bob Conduit
M6FLT along with the 6th Staines Scout Group ran a Jamboree On The Air
(JOTA) station GB6SS.

During the event the satellite FUNcube-1 (AO-73) transmitted a special
message from Space that the Scouts successfully decoded, it said:
"ChertseyRC: GB6SS have fun celebrating 60 years of JOTA 6th Staines
Scouts, Cubs and Beavers 20 Oct 17"
