New Book: Satellite Operating for Amateur Radio
Tony Milluzzi’s (KD8RTT) book Satellite Operating for Amateur Radio was released this week by the ARRL and is now available for purchase both through the ARRL and Amazon.
The book offers a step-by-step introduction to satellite based operation for hams new to satellite while tackling advanced topics such as FT4 and D-STAR for experienced operators.
I’ve learned so much from the satellite community, and this book is my way of passing that along to others,” said Milluzzi. “I hope it helps a ham who has always been curious about satellites take those first steps to get on the air.”
