Satellite communication and ham radio

Something that interests me is satellite communication. I have spent many exciting hours "working the birds" as they say. It's really not that difficult at all! If you have an HT, and a portable antenna, you can get started. Here is a page about how to do that. Its a bit old, but the basic info is still relevant. In it, I talk about my first satellite qso. Needless to say, I was hooked!

Hello!

My name is Mike, and I am just getting started here. One of my many interests is Ham radio, and I hope to post some things about that here. Feel free to check out my other blog here.

One interest I have is space communications, and amateur satellite work. I actually spoke to Susan Helms on board the international space station! The audio is on my ham radio site, here.

OK stay tuned, more to come!
