Amsat is the organisation that co-ordinates and arranges deployment for most OSCAR's . These are Orbiting Spacecraft Carrying Amateur Radio. There have been many built over the years and this site has some of the history as well as details on what there is up there and available for use now.

Another organistaion that builds satelites is UoSat. This group based at The University of Surrey were the first to put up a digital repeating satelite.

In Australia, the representitive body for all amateurs in the Wireless Institute of Australia. It looks after our interests in the international world of AR and acts as the contact point in matters pertaining to regulations with Government. The Federal Executive membership is made up of State based divisions. This link will take you a page of information about the Queensland Division or WIAQ as it is called.

You may find that your local radio club has in recent years splintered into Special Interest Groups or you have found your budget streched between many groups. One that I have supported in the past is the Queensland Digital Group. It is the co-ordinating body for all digital communications in Queensland and maintains quite a few digipeaters in the lower portion of the state.

The Brisbane VHF Group is one of the groups active in providing repeaters and also the beacons around South-east Queensland.

Another site worthy of mention here is David Graham's Radio Comms Page .
