This is part 1 in this mini series of my progress on building the WB0OEW Autonomous satellite tracker. In this video I went shopping for the parts, and ALL the links are below for the original published document, his website and all the parts that I ordered in this video. Future video updates I will post more links to parts I still need to purchase, like a decent tripod. I also have a satellite antenna on the way that I purchased from GigaParts, which will be a separate video in itself. Make sure to subscribe so you can get alerts when updates are posted.
