Re: [amsat-bb] AMSAT Journal info

["Ed Long" <wa4swj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

I have been the Editor of The AMSAT Journal since Q4 of 2004. As far as I know
there are no electronic archives that are available to download older copies
of the Journal. There may be copies in the archives of the past Journal
Editors, but I don't know of any active, consolidated repository of copies of
the older issues. Each PDF file I have created for each issue is at least 12
MB and would take hours to download even with a high speed connection.

Sorry for the bad news but that's all I know at present.

Welcome to AMSAT! It's a great group. If you're going to Dayton this year a
number of us will be there at our booth that you could visit with.

Regards and 73,

Ed Long
WA4SWJ
Editor, The AMSAT Journal.

  John,
  Appreciate your input. I have purchased the book you recommend as well as
  the book "Getting Started" from the AMSAT Store.

  But I am still looking for copies of the Journal from 2000 to present.

  Anyone have an link or source as to where I may obtain these? If there is a
  link on the AMSAT site, I can't find it.

  Hi Paul,
   Welcome to the satellite end of the hobby.
   Its the best bit !!!
  The bb will keep you updated on all happenings.
  Also a great source of technical help.

  I suggest you browse the Amsat NA site, it has everything you need. If you
  want a superb book get The Radio Amateurs Satellite Handbook by Martin
  Davidoff K2UBC. I use mine all the time, good practical info and a great
  reference.

  To get started, see what radio capabilities. 70cms,2m,FM,SSB etc and check
  out which satellites you can use.
  Putting the satellite name into Google will often take you to a web site
  written by a person who is regularly on that satellite so you get some good
  practical tips.
  Suggest you listen to a few passes to get the hang of things before you try
  a QSO.  The big benefit of satellite working is that you hear your own
  signal coming back so you can tell if you are on frequency and making it
  into the satellite. K5OE and G6LVB have excellent construction stuff on
  their sites if you like to make antennas.

  Have fun and perhaps see you on the birds.
