Amateur Radio FM Satellites

When I was at the Dayton Hamfest, Jerry (KK5YY)[1] was giving a demo on how to get on the bird using the hand held Arrow antenna, and a FT-51 radio. I watched how easy it was and thought, I can do that! After the demo, I walked to the flea market and purchased one of the antennas. I came to the second demo, and spoke to Jerry as my first satellite contact! Very cool!
