What handful of Amateur Radio satellites should a newcomer focus on? The Amsat Current Status table lists 15 with current reports but many of those are telemetry only.
Is there a current “Amateur Satellite Frequency Guide? My April 2019 is pretty out of date.
I need to know what satellites I should try to hear in an effort to validate my IC-9700 and M2 Leo Pack system.
I've focused my efforts on RS-44 and the XW-2_ (fill in a letter) linear transponders. Plenty to listen to on those sats, and the XW-2s are very strong on my 2m J-pole. You should have no issue hearing those.
