What are Amateur Radio Satellites?
Here is the startling info — more than 70 Amateur Radio satellites have been launched over four decades. The
number is astonishing because these sophisticated and groundbreaking spacecraft are little known outside the ham radio fraternity.
In fact, private groups of Amateur Radio operators around the globe have built and sent dozens and dozens of Amateur Radio
communications and science satellites to orbit since the first, OSCAR-1, was launched on December 12, 1961.
The major group involved in space activity is the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) headquartered at Washington,
D.C. It's membership is composed of volunteer spacecraft designers, builders and operators across America and around the world.
Through the efforts of the "AMSAT" organization, amateur satellite communications have been a reality. Hams enjoy satellite
communication on a daily basis. Imagine the thrill and excitement of "working" other hams around the world using minimum power
as the "bird" orbits overhead! Satellite tracking is an activity in and of itself and is very challenging, just figuring it
all out has its rewards. Some amateurs even bounce their signals off of the earth's biggest satellite, the MOON !
Some of the frequencys that you can hear Ham Satellities are: 145.825 - 145.975Mhz. & 29.360 - 29.400Mhz. & 435.179
- 435.900 Mhz. Note some of these frequency are in SSB Mode or FM Mode or CW mode and also Data Mode.
