This sounds like Fun!! Talking to Satellites on Ham Radio: Curious how hams pull live images from weather satellites or make QSOs through FM and linear birds Click Here Did you know that amateur radio operators have been sending satellites into space since the early 1960s? The Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio, or OSCAR I for short, was successfully launched into a low Earth orbit on December 12, 1961. It carried a small beacon transmitter whose purpose was to study radio propagation through the ionosphere. It only lasted a few weeks before it dropped into Earth’s atmosphere and burned up, but it secured amateur radio’s place in space. Now, there are dozens of amateur radio satellites in space, and as a Technician you can make contacts by bouncing your signals off of them. Think of them as repeaters in space. See all our handy tips and reference pages.: Click Here..  Have some handy hint of your own? Forward to to us and we will make them available to the Ham Community!
