First, an L-band ground antenna would be too\nlarge to disguise as a TVRO dish. Second, there is fear that over the\nlifetime of Eagle that L-band could become unavailable, particularly in\nEurope, if the Galileo system is deployed. Galileo would be a primary\nservice and Ham transmissions would likely interfere with low cost\ncommercial receivers.\n\nI don't wish to debate these points. I'm just telling you the reasoning that\nwent into not choosing L-band. I assure you that every possibility was\nconsidered. Lists were created and discussed on each alternative.\n\nRick\nW2GPS\nAMSAT LM2232\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] \nSent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 11:29 PM\nTo: Rick Hambly (W2GPS)\nCc: [email protected]\nSubject: Re: [amsat-bb] Re: Why do the amsats get more and more complex?\n\nMaybe someone can explain why Eagle could not use the L Band for its \ndigital uplink instead of S Band? Then you would have a L/C mode and \nmany users already have a L band uplink capability.\n\nLes W4SCO\n\n\n>Eagle will carry a payload that it is hoped will revolutionize Amateur\n>Satellite communications and Ham Radio as a whole.
