some basic equipment and antennas, some of which you may already have or that you can build for just a few dollars. Tracking the Birds To listen for, or communicate through, an amateur radio satellite you first have to find out when it will be within range of your station. Fortunately, most of us now have a computer in our ham shacks with access

To make QSOs via satellite, you will need to be able to transmit and receive on both 2 meters and 70 centimeters. For the FM satellites, this can be as simple as a dual-band HT, or two separate HTs. You will also need an effective antenna for satellite work, and a way to track satellites as they pass overhead. You'll also need a diplexer

That is, if you insert 50 Watts into a feed line at your station, you'll have less than 50 Watts once your signal gets to your antenna. The rest of the power is lost somewhere in the feed line, usually in the form of heat. Unfortunately, these characteristics are also at work when you receive signals as well.

This setup worked great for making FM contacts through AO-85 (Fox-1A), a U/V mode FM EasySat.We used the 1.0 station on multiple occasions including Field Day 2016 and several of our club members used it to make their first satellite contacts. The Full-Duplex HT allowed us to hear our own signal coming back from the satellite which was an important tool to help with aiming the antenna properly.

This configuration is used by many satellite operators worldwide.

On FM, call another station to initiate a contact - don't call CQ on FM. On Linear, send dits or call "CQ satellite" and listen/tune RX to find your own signal on the transponder - use CAT tuning or a Doppler cheat sheet to aid. Use phonetics for your callsign - noise and fading are often prevalent. Use full-duplex.

Ham Radio Satellite Antennas. One of the cool things about working the FM satellites is that you don't need a lot of sophisticated equipment. A couple of HTs—or an HT capable of duplex operation—and a handheld, dual-band Yagi, as shown in the figure below, will do. One of the most widely-used antennas for satellite work is the Arrow II

https://www.hamradioschool.com/post/amateur-satellite-contacts
An ordinary handheld FM transceiver (HT) with an antenna that provides a bit of directional gain is usually all you need to work a satellite and contact other amateur operators. A handheld Yagi attached to a 5 watt HT radio is the typical starting setup for most hams seeking satellite contact.

Here's a simple exercise to help you get started: listening for the AO-91 FM satellite. Go to AMSAT or N2YO.com, or download one of the satellite tracking apps, and get the latest pass information on the FM satellite AO-91 (also known as Fox-1B). AO-91 has a downlink frequency of 145.960 MHz, so it won't be as affected by Doppler as other

Getting Started with the FM Satellites. If you can program split-frequency memories in your dual-band radio, or your dual-band radio has two VFOs, you can work an FM satellite. The primary FM voice mode for SO-50 is workable with dual-band HTs! For the normal V/U FM voice mode with these two satellites, the UPLINK frequency - where you transmit

The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (as AMSAT is officially known) was first formed in the District of Columbia in 1969 as an educational organization. Its goal was to foster Amateur Radio's participation in space research and communication. AMSAT was founded to continue the efforts, begun in 1961, by Project OSCAR, a west coast USA-based

Tracking FM is not that difficult once you get your radio setup to go in small increments, like 5kHz. There's a lot of information to keep track of, so when I started I wrote on a PostIt all the pertinent information about whatever satellite I was tracking.

Other antennas like Elk Antennas 2m/70cm log periodics or homebrew equivalents of these popular commercially-made antennas could be used in place of the Arrow Yagi. Other radios - for example, Yaesu FT-100, FT-857, FT-897, FT-991; Icom IC-706Mk2G, IC-7000, IC-7100 - that support SSB at 2m and 70cm could be used in place of an FT-817.
