AMSAT & SATELLITE OPERATION

The Radio Amateur Community under the auspices of AMSAT maintains a number of orbiting satellites capable of analogue and digital operations in space. While station requirements are a little more complex than those of the average terrestrial station, a satellite station is not all that difficult to set up.  Information regarding the setup for digital operations using the Icom twins (IC-275/IC-475) at my station is available to those who are interested in satellite operation using Modes A, B, JA, JD, or JM.
