Welcome! Many of you are here for a copy of my tutorial for working amateur satellites with only your HT - updated 01/25/2010. It’s the same handout used in my AMSAT presentations and satellite demos. Want a lively, informative, hour-long ham satellite presentation at your club? Just contact me.


The WORK-SAT page has all the citations and URLs mentioned in my presentations and in the satellite tutorial - ALL on one page for you! There’s also a Work-Sat YahooGroup to gather your tips and techniques - as well as address concerns from those who haven’t worked a satellite yet.


The PHOTOS page has slideshows covering ...

  1. • the “mods” I’ve performed to my Arrow Antenna

  2. • making radio “go boxes” out of Playmate coolers

  3. • a simple teleprompter for a Flip video camera and  iPod touch

  4. •an emergency repeater repair journey

  5. •the infamous Tape Measure Yagi ... and Altoids USB charger

  6. • ... along with other goodies.


The DOCS page offers ...

  1. •a one-page “How to Program your Yaesu FT-60R” sheet

  2. •My “Top Fifty or So Freqs” for Southern California

  3. •Icom’s grid square map

  4. •Manually Mapping your Ports for EchoMac

  5. • ... and more.


Remember dialup Bulletin Board Systems? Here’s an homage to ATD BBS.
