[amsat-bb] Fw: HF-HF satellite

[R.T.Liddy]

     The RS Birds were fantastic!  I worked a lot of Mode A with
a 2M all-mode to a Ringo Ranger and an HF XCVR to a
Tribander.  Sat tracking in the early days was with an AMSAT
OSCAR-LOCATOR (Rotating mylar discs over a global map!!).
Once computerized, I used a Radio Shack TRS-80 with a program
I think was called Sat-Tracker(??). Ah, the Good Ol' Days!!

Joe,

Some of the new dongles cover 10 meters, and the price is down below $100 for at least one, the
Airspy.

While not technically a receiver, I have a radio shack HTX-100, still seen at larger hamfests for
$40-75, which would work well.  I used it as part of my AO-40 telemetry system.  Don't recall I have
ever used it for TX.

73s,

Alan
WA4SCA
