Learning Amateur Radio Satellites, Ham Satellite Info

[@fredbissnette3104]

I hit the na1ss repeater on a tape measure yagi a few days ago and was floored when I heard my callsign came back , this is what makes ham radio fun. awesome video

[@larryhornerjr]

ISS just went by. I heard some hams using a Discone antenna. Will get set up for the next pass with an El that I can hit tomorrow with Satcom antenna. Thanks for your help. You are the king of ham radio

[@larryhornerjr]

Wow. Great Video. Very well presented. I’ve talked to many other hams regarding how to do this including RACES and ARES members and could not get a good explanation on how to do this. After watching your video, the light bulb went on. Now I get it. Thank you so much for breaking it down.

[@turtlekoff1]

Great video for everyone who wants to get into satellites. As always easy to understand for the average ham.

[@daviddawkins1]

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain about communication with satellites. I really appreciate the info. I have always wanted to do this, but didn’t know how until I watched your video. Really laughed when you mentioned about keeping the contact short, not chatting about how many dogs you have etc. this made me laugh out loud.Hope to make a contact with you sometime soon. Thanks again, DO7DAD Bad Salzuflen, Germany.

[@lalu225]

Very interesting and useful, thank you! This topic fascinates me.

[@earlblakley4910]

Thanks for explaining that Eric. I think I'll use my ts-2000 for the shifting. It might be difficult with some handhelds.

[@fritsmemelink5608]

Trully good explaning here Eric

[@jconnwilson]

Thanks for your videos! Excellent presentation.

[@aw7425]

Well done Eric. You have reinvigorated me and many others. 73

[@royramdeen8864]

Nice Eric.. don't worry what the others are doing or saying... do your thing!

[@double5bbq]

That was a very well done and articulate instructional video. Thanks so much!!! I am a pretty new ham and have been interested in this and not certain how to really get going with it. That was perfect. Thanks a lot!

[@keithleggett3737]

Thanks Eric .. a great presentation and so much clearer in the detail than others ..(gm4jkz)

[@Traveler7450]

Thanks for the instruction Eric.

[@gregorysmith3097]

Another great video. Got a couple of suggestions for videos that could really help brand new hams like me. First would be what can I do with ham radio? We all know about talking to other hams and doing emergency communications. But what are some of the more obscure things that we may be interested in doing with our new licenses. Next would be what should I get for my ham shack? Other than radios, of course. What are some of the pieces of gear that you think all hams should have in their ham shack? I'd assume something like an antenna analyzer would be on the list, but what else?

[@scottabeers]

Almost a year later but...NICE! Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video. I am looking forward to at least hearing if-not talking through an amateur satellite in the near future. SO-50 happens to be going by in 30 minutes Thanks to your video...I know that at 10 degree azimuth...I am not likely to hear it but...I will give it a try for practice. There is a 23 degree and a 46 degree azimuth coming up in 2 weeks. I will be there for that. Now...to look at through the other possible satellites to listen/talk through. Thanks again. Scott N1KMX

[@davidsradioroom9678]

Wow! Yes, this video was long, but very interesting. You have whetted my appetite for satellite communications. Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@tyronewalker5764]

You did that with 5 watts?

[@F16CJWW]

Very well presented. Really enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@mikeklemens8970]

Satelite sounds fun. Thank you Eric for taking your Friday to do a video for us hams. Mike N6IMY

[@HAMRADIOJOE4178]

GREAT VIDEO ERIC, THANKS BRO.

[@dosfenos3736]

great video Eric

[@hobie1dog]

thanks a bunch for making this

[@brucerobson8284]

I have to agree with you about AT&T I worked there for over 23

[@eddycuypers7621]

Very informative. Learned something. Thanks

[@HamRadioConcepts]

Boom!

[@koldark]

Funny, I was just researching this wondering exactly how to make an antenna for satellite communications. Thanks for the video. I can't find SatSat for Android, but I do use ISS Detector. The only negative is that it shows ALL satellites, so I can't filter down to just the few I want to track.

[@w.rustylane5650]

In one of yer shots I see ya throwing a rock with a large string attached so you can pull up an antenna. I'm thinking that HAM radio operators really need a cross bow or an archery bow to shoot an arrow over a tree with a string attached to pull up an antenna. My pine trees out back are extremely tall and I could not throw a rock over one no matter how hard I try. I think a bow and arrow is gonna be necessary when I get my HAM license.

[@Gerry32]

Cool video !

[@hymiepab]

Nice work! Can you get that AMSAT shirt anywhere?

[@Fleadog100]

Great video, my biggest problem is programming the Wouxun radio properly with chirp. Any help would be appreciated!!

[@jimei8km21]

Inspiring. Thank-you.

[@ronmorella6541]

Thanks Eric, great video, hope to make a contract someday. Note of interest, if you use HRD software, it will tune the radio automatically for Doppler shift. Makes it easier, I think. 73 n2imb

[@martinkolczyk1822]

You got me going and I needed that! KB0NRT, Iowa EN31. I will try this soon!

[@MichaelMarko]

The GEOSTATIONARY satellite Es’hail-2 launched November 15, 2018. It has 2 transceivers in the 2400 MHz and 10450 MHz bands. A 250 kHz bandwidth linear transponder intended for conventional analogue operations and an 8 MHz bandwidth transponder for experimental digital modulation schemes and DVB amateur television. Wouldn't these be easier to contact and use continuously than an orbiting satellite?

[@jayyyyy50505]

Im waiting for this!thank you

[@mjuinen]

Eric well explained, now I understand more about satalite connections. Thank you ! Marcel PA1MJ

[@Kingranch9409]

Good stuff man. Ever try an elk antenna?

[@richard-fy2mu]

Pointed ft60r up and scanned there it was a second of a bird , I got my arrow and now can I get ft857d to do it? I am hooked. Local repeaters nearly dead, dmr fun but this is really fun. Learning curve!!! KG5WKO

[@TrentWilbanks]

Awesome video Eric!!! Loved it. Here’s to more rainy days! Just kidding. 73, KN4TAK

[@MichaelMarko]

Is that mic behind you to your right the one you're using for the video?

[@megadwood18]

when do you think youll get to building the sat tracker

[@BillOnVideo]

You don't have to adjust the VHF freq because the Doppler shift is within the bandwidth of the signal.

[@Davidjb37721]

Thanks have fun

[@millzee]

Im working on putting a system together. Its been on my bucket list for some time now. Making it happen from EN60mb

[@blackdog.6398]

Can I listen on my scanner?my pro2035 . It tops out at 1399.99mhz is there away or do I do better off using my SDR,,! Well I got to find a purpose to justify its meek life it lives,,lol ...

[@HamRadioConcepts]

sure you can...

[@KF4LXS]

Why the switch to iPhone?

[@HAL-xj1su]

My God!!! That satellite looks like a Borg cube!

[@nevets68]

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own (unless you are baofeng based) . Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. ;)

[@mikesmithg0rfd356]

thank you

[@florencegomer7937]

Starts at 5:00

[@michaelw567]

Great information thanks W4MHW

[@polishpicl]

The only thing I would add is to have a tape or digital recorder taping during the short qso to record the contact on qrz....us old farts forget quick!!!!!

[@dennisg4499]

Love your stuff bro, but you're WAY off on your 24 hour clock. 21:00 is 9 PM. 12 + 9 = 21.

[@HamRadioConcepts]

UTC here is minus 4, which would be 5pm here, 23:00 -4 = 19:00 = 7PM... Have a good day. 73

[@peterdekeles.]

Great video. something else to spend money on. You actually see lightning and hear the resultant product which is thunder, just saying.

[@mikethees6434]

Great video not sure I will try any time soon but thanks for the info 73 de KD2RVW

[@Blueyzachary]

Watching this video with the same iPhone 7, and same case...

[@Aleziss]

16:38 you owe me 100$, I can run RS44 from AOS to LOS even below 1° at over 4500km from my station... using no external preamps besides the 9700 preamp, single antenna, 100' of 9913...

[@terrymac9570]

Have you had any flat earth space deniers in your comments section telling you satellites are fake yet ? Lol🤣👀

[@HamRadioConcepts]

I recently had someone tell me the moon is a mylar balloon... His answer was.. "Have YOU ever been to the moon?"

[@terrymac9570]

Traveller NL lol🤣🤪😜💥

[@TRUMPSUPPORTER1976]

Probably you don't know the german "deutshe telecom". That is the worst piece of shit!
