cover the use of amateur astronomy GOTO mounts as amateur
radio satellite and EME “rotators.” Such astronomy mounts
provide both “off the shelf” and portable solutions for
satellite and EME operations.</p>

<br clear="none">
Back in the 70s, when the Earth was young, one
of my motivations for wanting a ham license
was to 'work the birds', specifically the
AMSAT OSCAR satellites. I didn't quite get my
ticket back then but my interest in satellites
stayed with me. Now that I've (finally)
gotten into the hobby I'm ready to send some
signals into space.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
What I need now is an Az/El rotor (Yaesu
G-5500 or similar) to point the antennas at
the right spot in the sky. I can manage to
build the antennas, but the rotor is a bit
beyond my ability. If you, or anyone you
know, has one they may be willing to part with
I'd appreciate a heads up.<br clear="none">
