    "content": "Hi all,\n\nPlease keep in mind that Delfi-C3 has no active attitude control\nsystem and therefore does not have a constant polarization sense as in\nslowly tumbles trough space.\nSo it is important to switch polarization both on uplink and downlink.\nThe beacon is about 10dB below the transponder PEP, and off course the\ntransponder PEP is shared between transponder users.\nA 2m pre-amp will be a huge improvement on your station and is well\nworth considering the expense.\nThe beacon and transponder of Delfi-C3 are switched on together, so\nonce you hear the CW beacon the transponder is also on.\n\n\nRegards,\n\nWouter Weggelaar\nPA3WEG\nDelfi-C3 team member\n\n\nOn Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 10:16 AM, Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)\n<[email protected]> wrote:\n> Hi Mark!\n>\n>> My attempts to upliink to DO64 with approx 200W eirp using SSB\n>> have not worked.
