<http://w5kub.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0d5cdae05233f79e11025a75d&id=0e0bbcfa30&e=2953da4fa0> 
 or heard on shortwave radio station, WTWW on 5085 KHz.  Tom Medlin, 
W5KUB, is joined by co-host Ted Randall, WB8PUM, from 
the QSO Radio Show.  The show covers a wide range of topics 
for ham radio operators, shortwave listeners, and electronic hobbyists; 
including balloon launches, Satellite, go-kits, emergency 
communications, SDR, digital modes, DXing, home brewing, and more.



This week’s guest will be Clint Bradford, K6LCS. Clint lives in Southern 
California, and, by last count, has performed his "How to Work Amateur 
Radio Satellites With Your HT" presentation almost 80 times at 
conventions and clubs across the United States.  To learn working the 
"birds" with just a simple HT, tune in Tuesday night's show.  Clint will 
also discuss other tools needed; such as, free tracking software, how 
to home-brew a simple Yagi antenna for more punch in the signal, and 
the simple protocol used when making these fun and interesting 
contacts.  In addition to learning about the satellites, the same 
equipment is used to contact the International Space Station.

 

Clint also coordinated a school contact with the International Space 
Station  - enabling students to interview an astronaut as the 
International Space Station streaked overhead.   Clint's websites 
are work-sat.com
