  I am interested in purchasing some satellite equipment soon.
My interests lie initially with listening to oscar 10,11, but
I will eventually want to transmit also.  My question is:
what equipment is worth considering?

  I don't want to spend a large amount of money, so I was considering
the TEN TEC 2510(b) which (I believe) is a 2M -> 10M converter and
a multimode 440Mhz transmitter.  Does anyone have any information
about it?

  Are there any recommendations for antennae, rotors, preamps?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
