The FM sats are a very \ngood entry point into satellite operation.\n\nI got into satellites as a result of seeing just how easy it was to make \ncontacts on AO-51 with a radio shack HTX-242 and an FT-817 that I \nalready owned. Since I have been bitten by the satellite bug, I've gone \nout an bought an FT-847 and pre-amps, and I will hopefully be putting up \na better antenna array soon to help with linear satellites.\n\nIf it hadn't been for AO-51 and its \"Easy Sat\" reputation, (helped along \nby K7AGE's videos on YouTube), I probably would have never gotten \nstarted and kept on thinking satellite operation was \"too hard\".\n\n73,\n\n--\nSean - VA5LF\n", "attachments": [] }
