I have been interested in AMSAT operation for awhile but have not even began to put together a station for satellite work. I will be attending the Dayton Hamvention this weekend, and in doing so I am hoping to learn enough about satellite work to get on the air over the next few weeks.
With the large collection of AMSAT experts in Dayton, my question is what the group would recommend to a newcomer to try to get out of Dayton in learning some satellite basics. Should I make sure to go to the forum? Are there going to be demonstrations on software and station setup? Should I mainly try to make in-person resource contacts? Mainly, where should I focus my efforts this weekend? I am hoping to learn as much as possible and hope to finally get involved in satellite operations in the next few months. Thanks in advance, Steve, W5IEM _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
