So many satellites are moving and sitting over our heads, and the numbers are ever increasing. Using low cost software defined radio (SDR) and low cost DIY antennas you can make from materials at your local hardware store or garage, a world of fun can be explored.

This is a beginners guide on how to get up and running. Exploring which projects to tackle first, from weather satellites, data over Inmarsat and Iridium, to listening to amateur radio and cube satellites.

Learn about some hardware you can make or scout for online and use at home. A quick tour of the frequency bands requiring some bigger hardware will also be discussed.

DELETE the roster you posted. Someone not wearing a red hat will have a field day.

I think you meant to paste all those FReeper handles into the “To:” box. Right?

Just hit “Post Reply” and pasted the list there.

If it requires tin-foil to build, there is no more......

Too many Freepers bought it up! :^)
