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:
