Neterra's Amateur Radio Club was established at the beginning of this year and is now proud to have a working on-ground system that connects with nano-satellites. This month, the system was built by fellow engineers who love working with radio frequencies.
The system is built of UHF and VHF antennas, a rotor and a transceiver, which makes the automatic satellite tracking possible. Since its founding, the club has several successful activities, one of which includes a short-wave (HF) antenna that can establish a connection thousands of kilometers away.
The history of radio fans goes back more than 100 years with the introduction of radio technology. Radio is a passion for millions of people around the world who like to create technology with bare hands. Radio navigation begins with the idea of communicating with a person on the other side of the world. Later, it is fueled by the desire and ability to help others in difficult situations and in various natural disasters. Nowadays, it has further developed to answer the curiosity of each and every person assembling his equipment and checking if it works. Working with radio equipment is an enriching hobby that brings a lot of new knowledge, as well as many new friendships with people all over the world.
