Hi all,
I’m Ioanna, a Lisp programmer living in Bonn.
I have some history with amateur astronomy/meteorology but not much. I have limited electronics-tinkering experience, but I’d love to create a ground station on my balcony.

Hi Ioanna,
Welcome to SatNOGS!
I would suggest you start with a no-rotator setup that can easily be built. Then you can move forward to improve or make changes to the station or build another one more advanced.
For any question/comment you can post here or send a message to our live chat channel.

Hi Jo!
Yes it was a good chat, thank you so much for your explanations and pointers. I’m happy to have found this project, and I’m looking forward to my next free weekend to build my ground station. Exciting stuff!

Hello SatNOGS,
We are a group of students of the Astronomy Community from University of Turkish Aeronautical Association. (UTAA is located in Ankara, Turkey.) We have been studying for a few months. Finally, our system became definite and we start to build it. There will be 1 Turnstile for NOAA, 1 UHF-VHF dualband arrow antenna and lastly 1 yagi antenna for Hydrogen Line. All of the antennas will be done in this week. Hopefully, in the end of this month, they will be added into the network.
You can always contact with us via e-mail.
See you soon, as an active station

Welcome on-board @KI7ZWX I see you already have station #506 on-line feel free to add an antenna on it’s SatNOGS Network when you feel you are ready to test. For more info on SatNOGS take check out the SatNOGS wiki you can also join the #satnogs chatroom at Matrix (via riot) or via IRC at Freenode where many members of community are active.
Looking forward to receive signals from your cubesat!

I like uavs and space. A glimspe of my github at https://github.com/zarkopafilis/ can reveal much more stuff about me, than a couple of lines here would.
I heard about this at Google Summer of Code, I’m here to write some good’ol low level code.

Could somebody tell me what I should do to enter the freenode IRC? It seems to be invitation-only…
As our friend, I’m also interested in Pluto… Naoki Usarawa is a pretty good mangaka hahah now serious, if some of you has any information related to the DSL, I would appreciate it

Howdy to @zarkopafilis, @ashish, @abhijeetmanhas, @emanuellima, @viral98, @bob and @ericles – looking forward to seeing you on the forums!
@ericles: to answer your question about IRC, last time I checked it’s still open – if you’re having trouble joining, try connecting through Matrix (which acts as a web client for IRC): https://riot.im/app/#/room/#satnogs:matrix.org.
