Beginning Satellite Operations

CollegeARC.com shows the beginner how they can get involved with amateur radio satellites in the article Amateur Satellite Operations. Check it out to learn how easy it is to work low earth orbit satellite with as little as an hand-held radio or similar equipment and only a technician class license. I have made contacts from Massachusetts to Georgia on only my Yeasu VX-8R and an Arrow antenna with 5 watts of power, give it a try!

Turnstile Moxon Rectangle

Here are some pictures of my turnstile moxon rectangle satellite antenna that I am building.




Thats just the 2m antenna, I will be writing up a larger more in depth article on www.collegearc.com in the near future.
