 > ... you wonder, why is there no simple guide for beginners.

Good news! Allow us to introduce you to this deal in case you missed the 
announcement from the AMSAT News Service ...

Free Digital Copy of "Getting Started with Amateur Satellites" Avail-
able for New or Renewing Members

While HuskySat-1 completes it's scientific mission, check out the best
resource for learning how to work through linear transponder sat-
ellites (and other types of amateur satellites). For a limited time,
AMSAT is making the "Getting Started With Amateur Satellites" book
available as a download with any paid new or renewal membership
purchased via the AMSAT Store. This offer is only available with
purchases completed online, and for only a limited time. A perennial
favorite, Getting Started is updated every year with the latest
amateur satellite information, and is the premier primer of satellite
operation. The book is presented in PDF format, in full color, and
covers all aspects of making your first contacts on a ham radio
satellite.

Please take advantage of this offer today by visiting the AMSAT store
at https://www.amsat.org/shop/ and selecting any membership option.
While there, check out AMSAT's other items, including the M2 LEOpack
antenna system, Arrow antennas, AMSAT shirts, and other swag. Be sure
to view your cart before going to checkout. If you add a membership
and then go directly to checkout, you'll never see an option to add
your free gift.

If you have trouble selecting your free gift, please see this YouTube
video to see the steps necessary. https://youtu.be/oRqk5Am-UzE

[ANS thanks the AMSAT Office for the above information]

If you prefer a printed book "Getting Started with Amateur Satellites" 
is available at: https://www.amsat.org/shop/
The 2019 edition is the current one (not 6 years old). The 2020 version 
will likely come out at the Dayton Hamvention.
