Amsat Symposium Station

One of the events that will take place at the 2007 AMSAT Space Symposium is an operating satellite ground station will be available for use and demonstration.

This station will have the capability to automatically track satellites using 2-meter and 70cm circular polarized antennas and a Yaesu FT-847 that is appropriately computer controlled.

We would like to demonstrate communication with digital satellites like GO-32 and AO-51 using WISP but we need assistance. We would also like to have telemetry capture and analysis demonstrated.

If any Pittsburgh area amateurs have the expertise to help us demonstrate satellite digital communication and telemetry capture, please contact Kevin Smith, N3HKQ at
n3hkq@amsat.org or call 412-953-4957.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
