[TVARC] Satellite Operation

[Gerald Swann]

Hi Stan,

   Thanks for the note regarding satellite operations from your courtyard
villa.  Do you have a web page where you detail your system for FT4 on a
linear satellite?  I would love to hear more about that.  I have done only
FM satellites in the past but am interested in getting into this mode of
operation.

Thanks,

Gerald, AI4DE
