are there any satellites(amateur, and non) other than the regular FM birds that would be good to listen to. I'd like to practice my tracking of 70cm FM downlinks and the best pass for me tomorrow is AO-51 which I won't be able to hear. let me know your thoughts(my station can monitor from 340-512) -Steve VA3SAX
If you can receive 70cm SSB, look for the cubesats. Most of them transmit a CW telemetry beacon that's pretty easy to find and track. Decoding is another matter...
