Amsats and Hamsats: Amateur Radio and other Small Satellites (Radio Today guides)

While it gives a good review of the hobby of communicating through the satellites it does not go into any depth of the actual modes and frequencies of the available satellites as i had hoped.

Great intro to amateur satcom basics, but also supplemented with a lot of practical detail.Recommend for all, Tech through Extra class. Also suggest using:- cellphone app ($) or heavens-above.com (free) to predicts satellite pass times, azimuth, and elevation- circular polarized antenna

As an amateur operator, this well written book provides a wonderful resource for ham satellite communication. I recommend it highly.

This book is very well written and very thorough. I found this book both introductory and exhaustive, offering both a depth and breadth of materials on the subject. I think it this book provides a wide overview of AMSAT for uninitiated hams looking to extend their skills to satellite communications.

A lot of good info. Don't let the book scare you away fromtrying manual tuning!

This will be the authoritative resource for both beginners or expert amateur satellite enthusiasts. As well as the practical information it provides detailed technical topics including antenna theory.This is a must-have for anyone with an interest in satellites and will be a time saver to searching disparate information on the internet.Highly recommended.

A must have, up to date book for doing amateur radio SATCOM. It was a great help to me in preparing to do amateur radio SATCOM. I succeeded in contacting the LEO, SO-50 FM repeater satellite soon after reading the essential parts of this book.

A very good read. This book is incredibly thorough and it answered a lot of my questions to get me closer to building my first satcom station.

Older satellite books, such as those for Oscar 6 and 7, were far better.I had hoped to gain useful information to setup my Icom IC-9700 to work satellites, but this book just leaves me cold and was a waste of money. Ask on one of forums, you will receive a lot more useful information than you will get from this book.

Excellent sat book

This is an exaustive guide to understand what and how Ham radio satellite are & work, and give many info about Amsat activities. This is not a operational guide, but for sure give a correct information to becoma a good and correct Ham Sat operator. Many internet links integrate this book, very helpful on my opinion.

Well written, good value for money, lots of info. Thank you, T.J.

A very very informative and well written book containing everything a radio amateur needs to know about satellites.
