Jimmy, I'll email to you a PDF file that Tim N3TL sent to me about getting

things; the only reason I haven't been on the sats is my own laziness,
together.

Hey Jimmy, some of the easiest birds to try are AO-27, SO-50, AO-51, and
HO-68. All of them are popular birds with plenty of contacts. Only thing to

resources there
Dave,
The Satellite Handbook was updated, I think last year, and was put
together by Steve Ford. I have a copy but I still refer to the Martin
Davidoff originals!
