[amsat-bb] Articles on Getting Started on SSB Sats

[Trevor .]

The AMSAT new starters page at 
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/information/faqs/

is a valuable resource but it seems to be all about FM sats, there's little showing newcomers how to use the Linear Transponder SSB/CW sats. 

Why is this, well clearly because no-one, myself included, can be bothered to write something that can be made available on the AMSAT site. 

There is of course some infromation scattered around the web that show what can be done with simple equipment on the Linear Transponder satellites such as:

AO7 from Indoors on 2Watts and Arrow antenna.
