Hi Tom,
https://w4uoo.wordpress.com/sat/
I gave this at the Tampa Amateur Radio Club a few weeks back. Only covered 'Beginners' and FM. Drew - KO4MA joined me being local to us in the area, which gave the whole deal some great stories about what AMSAT is doing too. (I was grateful to have Drew along to give the gig credibility <smile>)
I didn't do Power Point, wanted it to be more accessible from a mobile device or tablet.
I pitched this from my phone connected to a large display at the TARC clubhouse with an apple TV over wifi so I could also show satellite tracking from my phone and mailed the link to the club email reflector during the presentation so that all could have the information during the preso and the meeting.
Its got a couple things I need to add like update your keps etc...
There's a few new folks in the fray now as a result.
Next I'll do a follow up on linear birds and working with a station that has az-el capability.
Major emphasis ---> Make absolutely sure you can hear on several passes before you ever think about transmitting to get used to pointing the antenna, and, watch your ERP once you do transmit...and don't forget - Support AMSAT
Use it if you like let us know how it goes.
Good luck ! Mike

Hi all,
My local radio club here in Irving, TX prevailed upon me to do a presentation for our April meeting in a week. "I'll do it on
satellites" I
said.
I wondered if I could get any recommendations/permission to use a recent basic introduction to satellites PowerPoint presentation. You will get credit I promise. I just don't have the time to reinvent the wheel.
Response off list would be just fine.
Thanks.
