AMSAT-DL President Peter Gülzow DB2OS reports on a new amateur radio satellite forum that aims to help newcomers become active on the satellites
On the AMSAT Bulletin board (AMSAT-BB) he writes:
We have set up a new online forum at https://forum.amsat-dl.org/
Especially with the upcoming launch of P4-A/Es’hail-2 we want to offer a forum for extensive discussions.
Essentially this is a forum, where everyone can report on experiences and knowledge from operating satellites and thereby help other newly interested radio amateurs to become active and a member of our satellite community.
Of course all topics around amateur radio satellites and OSCAR’s should be discussed there, appropriate categories and forums were created.
If necessary this can be extended at any time and on request.We would be pleased if the new forum is well received and you register there with your callsign (if available) as your name.
Of course you can also look around as a “guest”.
Experienced users can also check in the settings for new entries and have them delivered by eMail if you wish so.
Some of the top names you ought to be aware of include BaoFeng, ICOM, Yaesu, TYT, and Kenwood. They are among the most well-known for having excellent ham radios with satellite connectivity. Their radios have made notable advancements over the years that have set them apart.
