The Online Amateur Radio Community (OARC) talk by John Stringer M5JFS titled ‘Chasing Birds: The Addictive World of Amateur Radio Satellites’ is now on YouTube.

“An introduction to the world of amateur radio satellite working. John will start with a brief potted history of how he got hooked on this aspect of the hobby, getting started with very modest and basic gear that he had to hand and how he later developed and improved his ‘station’ to where it is today as he grew in experience and interest. He’ll then cover the types of satellites that are out there, the gear you need (or don’t need) to work them, operating etiquette and best practices, useful software, tools and social networks, and finally he’ll tell us about a few notable moments and achievements that he’s had in his 6 years on the birds.”

The Online Amateur Radio Community (OARC) on Discord has a dedicated channel for discussions of Satellites, including Weather Satellites, a separate channel for QO-100 discussions and numerous channels covering a wide range of amateur radio interests.
