I was wondering what would be the best way to explain to the general public with what we do with Satellites? I was at the Doctors office and was stumbling around as I always do try to explain what we do ! Mike N8GBU
Ha! So I am not the only one that has this issue. =P I usually am able to explain to them what I am doing okay, but it seems like they don’t know what I am talking about, and by the time they drive off they think I am more weird than when they first saw me. I t would be really nice to be able to hand them a brochure or something, but I don’t think AMSAT has anything like that right now.

"We use our amateur radios to talk with other hams by sending our signal up to a satellite, which are built by hams, to relay our signal farther than we can normally talk." wait for the questions and answer them.
