Meeting Topic
Satellite Savvy: Successfully Working with Radio Satellites
Join us for an engaging session where we’ll delve into the world of amateur radio satellite communication. The primary focus will be on the essential tools and techniques for making successful voice contacts via satellite transponders. Additionally, we’ll explore working with weather satellites, capturing Slow Scan Television (SSTV) broadcasts, and utilizing Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) with satellites.
Your presenter will be one of our very own PARC members, Sean Borgerson – KK7OVF. Sean earned his ARRL VUCC satellite award in July of 2024 (#878), holds a general class license, and is a member of both ARRL and AMSAT.
