Hi Ron,
are there current (quite a few out of date ones have turned up) website for beginners?
AMSAT's Station and Operating Hints page may be one source: https://www.amsat.org/station-and-operating-hints/
A broader list of resources (such as frequencies and operating modes) can be found on the 'Satellite Info' pull-down menu at www.amsat.org
