Hello all.

I got the interest bug of working the radio satellites. But with all this new satellites going up, im a little overwhelmed about information on what each one does or frequencies ect. Basically is there a satellite for dummy site that lists what each birds information is??.. currently I've done a hombrew tape measure antenna and HT's, and just haven't been successful on a qso or heck even hearing so50 yet.

Thank you from a new to satellite,

This might be a good place to start:

As well, "The ARRL Satellite Handbook" is a good reference.
