[amsat-bb] Can I borrow a good presentation.

[Mike Sprenger]

Hi Tom,

https://w4uoo.wordpress.com/sat/

I gave this at the Tampa Amateur Radio Club a few weeks back.   Only
covered 'Beginners' and FM.   Drew - KO4MA joined me being local to us in
the area, which gave the whole deal some great stories about what AMSAT is
doing too.   (I was grateful to have Drew along to give the gig credibility
<smile>)

I didn't do Power Point, wanted it to be more accessible from a mobile
device or tablet.

I pitched this from my phone connected to a large display at the TARC
clubhouse with an apple TV over wifi so I could also show satellite
tracking from my phone and mailed the link to the club email reflector
during the presentation so that all could have the information during the
preso and the meeting.

Its got a couple things I need to add like update your keps etc...

There's a few new folks in the fray now as a result.

Next I'll do a follow up on linear birds and working with a station that
has az-el capability.

Major emphasis ---> Make absolutely sure you can hear on several passes
before you ever think about transmitting to get used to pointing the
antenna, and, watch your ERP once you do transmit...and don't forget -
Support AMSAT

Use it if you like let us know how it goes.

Good luck !
Mike
