In all my time I have only had a single QSO through a satellite. That was probably in the 1980s. I have been interested, but not enough to get me active.
My interest was first sparked by listening to USA stations on 2m SSB during late night passes of Oscar 6 and 7. In those days this was a real novelty. This would have been in the mid-1970s. They would appear, briefly, then they were gone over the horizon.
These days there are lots of amateur satellites including 1 geosynchronous one called Oscar 100.
We may get inspiration from the AMSAT Colloquium online on Sunday, October 24th. You have to register beforehand I think.
