Ny satellithandbok från AMSAT-NA

Det verkar vara en ny uppdaterad handbok om amatörradiosatelliter på gång. Detta står att läsa om i ANS-095:

AMSAT Plans Dayton Rollout for 2015 “Getting Started” Satellite Book

Gould Smith’s book, “Getting Started With Amateur Satellites”, is
being updated to tell you all about how you can get ready to operate
through the Fox-1 satellites launching later this year. Additional
chapters in the book tell you about tracking software, orbital
mechanics, antennas, radios, Doppler tuning, and operating
techniques. Chapters are also being added to tell you about the new
satellites soon becoming available for amateur radio.

Going beyond brief descriptions in hamfest flyers, this book will
provide a complete reference for new satellite users to assemble a
basic station and to make your first satellite contacts. Also this
book you will teach you how to incrementally upgrade your initial FM
satellite station, time and budget permitting, to include automated
tracking as well as operating through the CW/SSB linear passband
satellites.

A companion Fox-1A reference sheet is also being planned for release
at Dayton. This will be made available for AMSAT’s FieldOps team for
distribution at hamfests and satellite operating demonstrations.

Watch for the 2015 “Getting Started With Amateur Satellites” book
and reference sheet at the AMSAT booth at the Dayton Hamvention. The
book will also be available in the AMSAT Store shortly after Dayton:
