[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite Stations in Alabama

Hi Kyle,KK4ANG

I suggest you to look for a 432 MHz EME station in USA

My friend K2UYH Allen Katz in Trenton NJ has a big
parabolic dish and 1 kW amplifier for 70 cm and he can
help you.

email to a.katz at ieee.org
or to       alkatz at tcnj.edu

Look also in QRZ.com
