March Activity - Amateur Satellite
I wrote an article in the Nov/Dec 2001 YL Harmonics where I suggested 12
activities that one can do in Amateur Radio during 2002 and recommended
that we devote one month to each activity. Some of these may be new to
you and others you may not have done. The list of activities are as follows:
This month we will discuss Amateur Satellite. I will try to list a brief introduction
to each section followed by links to those pages that provide background information.
After reading them be sure to hit the back button to get back to this page.
If you know of any cool links, let me know.
What is Amateur Satellite?
Amateur Satellite communication is exactly what is sounds like. You are using satellites to
communicate with other hams. Some satellites require one HF band for transmitting and another HF
band for receiving. Other satellites will work using a regular handheld and 2m. Check out the links
below for more details. I will try to expand this section later this month, as time permits.
