CPUT satellite HF beacon - a new tool for radio amateurs The two satellites being built by students of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) include a beacon operating in the 20 m amateur band. The first of the two is a single CubeSat 10 x 10 x 10 cm with a mass of one kilogramme. While the single CubeSat will be dedicated to the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory science payload supporting the HMO operations in Antarctica, it will provide interesting antenna characterisation opportunities for radio amateurs. The beacon operating on 14 099 kHz will be used for optimising the SuperDarn HF radar system operated by the National Space Agency Space Science (previously the Hermanus Magnetic observatory).
