REDCOMM 2.0 was an Armature Ham Radio Workshop conducted by the UPAGRAH AMATEUR RADIO CLUB, ISRO SATELLITE CENTRE during the SEDS India National Conference ‘09. The basic aim of this workshop was to give an exposure and also to teach the basics about the communication device HAM (Amateur) Radio.
The event was conducted by Dr. Subhramani and his colleagues.
The event started with a talk on the Introduction to HAM Amateur Radio by Dr. Subhramani. After this there was a presentation in which they showed us exactly how a text message or an image is transferred through a HAM radio. Te concept of transferring a message or a live image from outer space was very thrilling and enchanted the audience.
The most exciting part of the event came when they explained us about tracking of satellites. Using software known as orbitron they also tacked satellites like ‘International Space Station’ and also picosatellites like ‘cutesat.’
On the whole the event which ran for more than three hours, was a huge success and in the end the participants learnt the basics of a HAM amateur Radio, how to make it and to use it for novel purposes. There were about 120 participants in the event!
