Amateur Satellite Contacts

The thing that brought me in to Ham Radio in the beginning was satellite contacts. I was a student at a university building an amateur satellite. We operated on the Amateur Bands. In order to operate, one had to have an amateur license. While we were at it, one of the most common things we did was to talk to other amateur satellites, to practice tracking satellites in frequency and location. Thus began my first period to study to take the technician license exam.
