      Steve, N2JDQ,
Welcome to the wonderful world of satellites.  I would hope that you become an AMSAT member as this is the only viable group that takes satellites seriously enough to organize itself (HA!)
I am the Local NJ co-ordinator and you will run into me at many hamfests.  I man the AMSAT tables and try to demo some sat ops (If I am outside).
There are many satellite users around that can be of assistance and you will become familiar with them as you go to some amateur radio club meetings (& hamfests!) 
On the BB, you will find interesting threads and I would advise you to join the ANS group and get weekly bulletins of satellite interest.
Good Luck !
73,
Dee, NB2F
NJ AMSAT Coordinator
