Dear fellow hams,

The funding threat to the UK solar-terrestrial program has been communicated by various ham radio resources including http://www.df5ai.net/ArticlesDL/STPFundingThreat/STPThreat.html

Considering the feedback I have received from a number of scientists, the spread of information is indeed very much appreciated. I asked myself how radio amateurs may be encouraged to follow the scientists request for support letters. With an open letter addressed to the chair of PPARC I hope to create a platform allowing other radio amateurs to join the initiative very easily.

The open letter is available at http://www.df5ai.net/ArticlesDL/STPFundingThreat/OpenLetter.html At this point, your support is requested which means:

1) Read the open letter

2) If you can agree to it you are requested to send me an email specifying your full name, callsign, home town and, if available, a web address

3) I will then place your name at the bottom of the open letter

The open letter has been submitted to PPARC on May 09 but I will continue accepting signatures.

vy 73,
