My Favorite Pass Time — AMSAT

by Denny - K5DCC

Technology

As an Extra Class licensed amateur radio operator, one of my favorite communications modes is AMSAT satellites. I use an Arrow antenna sometimes with just a couple of handheld radios or lately with a Kenwood TM-71a in full duplex mode. It is common to record these passes and review them later for accurate logging. Here is where I want to save my favorite satellite pass times for others to listen to and hear themselves and for contact verification. It's also my efforts as an AMSAT AMBASSADOR to build interest in amateur radio in space.
