Amateur Radio Satellites are a fun mode that is often overlooked by ham radio operators. There are quite a number of Amateur Radio Satellites in space, as well as amateur radio on the International Space Station. It is very rewarding and fun to learn how to track these satellites with accuracy and monitor them as they pass across your horizon. 

Armed with a good tracking software on your computer, you can predict when a particular satellite will be over your radio horizon to listen to it. We do recommend that you start by monitoring the downlink frequency. If you live in south Georgia, the prediction link below will give you a printout of the times a particular satellite will be over your area.
