Thank you, hope this weekend to have a chance to study it.

I’m interested in satellite receivers. And microwave transmitters.

I like that site, it’s what got me into SDRs and ended up getting a Raspberry PI and using it track airplanes via ADS-B....

Thanks, I am not sure what to do with this yet, but in my efforts to prep for unknown future, having comm options is something I have been trying to get around to. I want a HF Ham setup but other than having the operators ticket, not sure where to begin from scratch. Also have some VHF handhelds but not really making use of them at the moment.
