Amateur Radio Satellite Communications
Speaker: John Fritze K2QY
Abstract:
This program starts with the very basic setup to work an amateur radio satellite, or the ISS, and builds upon that by adding complexity to make contacts more and more consistent. Video and audio clips will be presented to augment the discussion.
