Radio Amateurs
An amateur radio operator, also known as radio amateurs or hams, is someone who uses equipment at an amateur radio station to engage in two-way personal communications with other amateur operators on radio frequencies assigned to the amateur radio service. Amateur radio operators have been granted an amateur radio license by a governmental regulatory authority (e.g. ICTA) after passing an examination on applicable regulations, electronics, radio theory, and radio operation. As a component of their license, amateur radio operators are assigned a call sign that they use to identify themselves during communication.

Beacon Decoders
Thanks to the close collaboration from the Radio Amateurs Community, beacon telemetry decoders were developed for the MIR-SAT1 satellite. All telemetry will be automatically uploaded to SatNogs.
We encourage each and everyone to download the decoders and support us in making this project successful.
