SUMMARY:General Meeting – April 2024
DESCRIPTION:This is a free and open to the public hybrid event\, held both inperson and online. Due to the newly effective insurance requirements\, we regret that we can not allow people under 18 on the Chapman Campus\, they are welcome to attend online.\n Join Zoom\n\nThis meeting’s speaker will present online.\n\n  \n  \nHow to Work Amateur Satellites\n  \nwith Your Handheld Radio\n\n  \n \n  \nYou do not need 100W of transmit power nor expensive antenna arrays to work the FM voice amateur satellites! Many hams already have the necessary equipment to “work the birds.” This presentation will walk you through ALL the steps needed to successfully work several ham satellites – including the International Space Station. \n  \nClint K6LCS has been a ham since 1994\, and found his niche in the hobby: working amateur satellites with minimal equipment and telling ALL about it! He has served a liaison between NASA\, the ARISS team\, and schools coordinating amateur radio contacts between the International Space Station and students (and also orchestrated a wildly successful ARISS contact). Audiences have never found his presentation slides “wordy” nor dull. Trivia questions are included throughout the session – audiences are never bored. \nFor reference materials\, Clint has created a support Web site at work-sat.com. The Web site has become a one-stop source for ALL the citations and equipment recommendations and software suggestions made in the presentation. \nProfessionally\, Clint was sales manager for ADI / Premier Communications / Pryme\, worked for a Motorola commercial two-way dealer a couple of years\, and for Ham Radio Outlet a couple more. He resides in Jurupa Valley\, California\, with his wife\, Karen\, and their new addition to the family: Huck\, a two-year-old 75-pound Lab. \n  \nViews: 38
