So many satellites are moving and sitting over our heads, and the numbers are ever increasing. Using low cost software defined radio (SDR) and low cost DIY antennas you can make from materials at your local hardware store or garage, a world of fun can be explored.
This is a beginners guide on how to get up and running. Exploring which projects to tackle first, from weather satellites, data over Inmarsat and Iridium, to listening to amateur radio and cube satellites.
Learn about some hardware you can make or scout for online and use at home. A quick tour of the frequency bands requiring some bigger hardware will also be discussed.

The Elon musk starlink satellite train is a trip to watch, even in the city you can see it sweeping the sky.

Amazing what can be done with an old R390 set but SDRs are a trip.

Mostly 20m and 40m bands, no antenna at the moment, so I dont listen much at all .

It is amazing how many younger techs and engineers assume software can fix anything, regardless of the limits of the hardware. A 500-1000 MHz planar antenna CANNOT receive 200 MHz, I don’t care what software tweaks you make.

I’m amazed how many modern engineers are so bone stupid, I would listen to my AM radio in a steel building and their iphones wont work, they say how are you getting a signal?
