Exploring the World of Ham Radio Satellites

[W2PAK]

Hi All,
For those of you who are either new to ham radio or looking to expand your skills, exploring satellite QSOs can be incredibly fun. I made a YouTube video that serves as a beginners guide to getting started with ham radio satellite QSOs. It covers everything from the basic equipment needed to tips on how to set up for your first contact. If you’re interested, check it out.

73,

Nice, informative, and concise (roughly 10 minutes) YouTube video, Paul. Good intro for folks new to satellite QSOs. Hopefully this will spark an interest in the Radio Reference readers.

Great video. Do you have to have a specialized antenna, or can I use the stock HT antenna or my 2 meter J pole

The antenna is very important for satellite communications. I prefer a moxon/yagi, but you can try an arrow or elk antenna. 73. Paul
