I personally won't recommend this article to new satellite users. The authors dismissal of 'full duplex' operation will only increase interference on the FM LEO satellites.

http://www.wku.edu/ksgc/sats.pdf Here is a link to a very clear and detailed tutorial on using LEO satellites with minimal equipment. This is the clearest explanation I've seen. The author is Richard Hackney, N1ASA Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Western Kentucky University Director, NASA Kentucky Space Grant Consortium
This is great stuff and would be a good link (or download) to add to the AMSAT webpage for newbies (like me!)
