Lincoln Short Wave Club - Bringing amateur radio to the community

On the 28thÂ*November we were treated to a talk on Amateur Satellites by
StephenÂ*2E0SSM. Â* He started by talking about the different types of orbits
in use by all satellites and then moved onto the more specific orbits and
the various types of satellite that amateur radio uses.Â* Â*A look at
antenna’s and the effects of doppler shift leading to the need to correct
frequencies followed.Â* Stephen also gave information on which frequencies
to listen on and some very useful websites for those of us who wanted to
try it out for ourselves.

The talk was very well received and Stephen gave a demonstration after the
talk using the equipment in the club radio shack.
