Hi folks:
Did you know that you can "work" ham radio satellites with just a dual-band
handheld and a rubber duck antenna? Join me at the Santa Barbara Amateur
Radio Club's meeting on Friday, where I will be demonstrating how easy it is
to use OSCAR satellites. Topics include:
1. History of Amateur Radio Satellites
2. Types of Satellites
3. How to work the "easy sats" with a simple radio
4. Demonstration of Satellite Equipment
5. SBARC ISS Contact (video of our recent contact with the space station)
Here are the details:
