A few other places to get information, Twitter and there is a newish community Discord server at https://discord.gg/Yv6sHz5, and an unused IRC channel on #freenode (sadly I have not been joining since March).

Hi, Doug. Welcome to the satellites and congratulations on your first satellite QSO!

This is the right email group for any questions you have. It's just a little weird right now because there is a contested board of directors election going on.

So ask those questions!!

If you have already located these sources of info, my apologies for telling you stuff you may already know, but I generally check out these three webpages for info:

https://www.amsat.org/two-way-satellites/

https://www.amsat.org/status/

https://www.amsat.org/track/index.php

Other folks on this list will have their favorite sources of info that they will share also. There are lots of folks on this list with much greater technical know-how than I and they will be happy to answer your questions (I'm happy to answer them, too, if I can!).

Hope to catch you on a bird very soon!

Hello all, I am brand new to satellite, and actually made my first QSO this morning on AO-91. I found this email group in the AMSAT Getting Started With Amateur Satellites 2020 which I purchased on a recommendation.

Is this the informational email group? (I also signed up for the New England mailing list, but it looks like there hasn't been any activity since 2013) I am of course looking for all the information I can find, but this group seems to be more of a political discussion. Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks!
