Listen Link Here I've often wondered about Ham Radio Satellite Operations. I knew where to look and what to read, but I kept myself from it, because I wanted to learn about it with you here on the show! I became acquainted with Andrew Glasbrenner KO4MA through our FB page, and watched from afar his dealings with Ham Radio Satellite Ops, and AMSAT. Andrew and I began conversing about having him on the show, and what follows is what we were finally able to bring together! Show Notes In addition to his family duties, Andrew also serves the AMAST organization as the VP Director of Operations. Andrew grew up like most of us-with a ‘Walkie-Talkie’ in his hand and a desire to communicate via Radio with whomever he could! Eventually he got the ticket to get on the air, and has been active there since! A big thanks to Andrew for coming on, I ask a load of questions and we cover it all here on Episode 60. From Build, Launch and Contact-it's all about Amateur Radio Satellite Ops on HR360! Thanks for Listening! K4CDN

KO4MA was my very first satellite contact in May of 2011 on AO-51. Boy was I surprised what a 5W HT with a telescoping antenna was capable of. In the brief moments of contact, he quickly explained what I needed to do to make contacts on the birds. Greatly appreciated.
Great interview, good questions, clear and very interesting answers. I hope to see you on the birds soon! 73
