John, KB2HSH, whom I chatted with a few times on the #amsat IRC channel has been writing up his experiences working satellites and the like. This morning, he was taking advantage of the Geminid meteor shower, and doing some listening for high speed meteor contacts. Very interesting, and even inspiring. I’ll have to do some of this soon myself.

The KB2HSH Radio Experimentation Page: High Speed Meteor Scatter, the Geminid Shower, and FSK441.

Addendum: John also has a very nice video on how he constructs eggbeater antennas. These are omnidirectional antennas that many use for satellite contacts. Since they are omnidirectional, they don’t need any pointing.
