Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Somewhere above you, a small satellite is orbiting at 17,000 miles per hour - and with nothing more than a handheld radio and a simple antenna, you can bounce your voice off it and talk to someone hundreds of miles away.

Satellite operating is one of the most exciting corners of amateur radio, but most guides either drown beginners in general ham radio basics or skip straight to advanced technique. This book does neither. It takes you step by step from your very first tracked pass to a confident, successful contact - covering equipment, antennas, Doppler shift, and exactly what to do (and avoid) during your first attempt.

Inside, you'll learn how to: - Choose the right radio and antenna without overspending- Track a satellite pass and time your call for success- Master Doppler shift with simple, practical techniques- Work the International Space Station and popular FM satellites>Whether you're a newly licensed operator or a ham who's always been curious about "working the birds," this beginner-friendly guide gives you everything you need to make your first satellite contact - and keep coming back for more.
