ARRL Satellite Operating for Amateur Radio

Satellite Operating for Amateur Radio

Tony Milluzzi, KD8RTT

Satellite Operating for Amateur Radio provides a clear, safe, step-by-step path for operators wanting to take their first steps into amateur satellite operation. First, the fundamentals of listening in to satellite passes, followed by a demonstration or two of how an operator can take their next steps using no more than a basic hand-held radio.

Then the anticipation builds as author Tony Milluzzi, KD8RTT guides us through making that first satellite contact.

The journey begins through the simple act of listening. It's the starting point for any and every satellite contact and forms the basis for this new book published by ARRL, the National Association for Amateur Radio in the USA.

Beyond the basics, Satellite Operating for Amateur Radio provides in-depth coverage for more experienced operators. Topics include digital modes such as FT4 and D-STAR®, as well as roving, award-chasing and advanced operating techniques. The book also explores antenna options, modern tracking tools and mobile apps, plus ways to engage with the amateur satellite community.

Whether you're just getting started or building on existing skills, Satellite Operating for Amateur Radio provides the tools and knowledge you need to get on the air and point your antenna toward the sky. The book also pairs perfectly with the ARRL Dual-Band 2 m/70 cm Handheld Yagi Antenna, ideal for making satellite contacts and receiving signals from weather satellites.

"I've learned so much from the satellite community and this book is my way of passing that along to others," says Milluzzi. "I hope it helps a ham who has always been curious about satellites take those first steps to get on the air."
