Hello Rajesh,
How are you. It is good to know you are leading the efforts of AMSAT-INDIA. As you have seen AMSAT-BB is a resource for specific topics like using satellites, radios, antennas, rotators and good practices and tips for beginners.
Just to give you an idea, I have been involved with amateur satellites since 2011 and have learned quite a lot about them. I have built several antennas suitable for satellite work and give presentations and demonstrations at local clubs and public events like field-day etc. Needless to say working with satellites is exciting for boht young and old hams alike. I also had the opportunity to work with some students in India and abroad for their school/college projects that involved amateur and NOAA weather satellites. Please don't misunderstand, this not about me, I have been a ham since 1976 (VU2HUZ) and I enjoy helping others enjoy the hobby as well.
Science and technology is an integral part of education in India, however I also understand the restrictions, both financial and strict regulations, compared to western countries. I would like to offer my help in any way I can.
Best 73! Umesh Ghodke K6VUG
