Yes sort of. You need to be able to operate by license on the required frequency/frequencies.
You need radio equipment that will cover the frequency/frequencies necessary.
Usually you need antenna/antennas with an azimuth rotor so your signal does not miss the satellite. I miss RS10/RS11 and RS12/RS13 that used to work uplink on 15 meters and downlink 10 meters so you did not need an azimuth rotor.
You need to know when the satellite will be in range as many do not cover the whole world.
You can learn a lot about satellite work from
AMSAT - The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation
