    "content": "I've been casually following the discussion of the upcoming \ngeosynchronous satellite.  I currently have a Mode B , J and A analog \nsetup that I've used on Oscar 10 and 13, and on some LEOs. This includes \ncrossed Yagis on 2m and 70cm, and an all-mode radio for those bands.  \nLEOs and flying mailboxes no longer interest me, so in recent years that \nsetup has only been used for occasional terrestrial VHF SSB/CW, plus \nlocal repeater activity.\n\nI will need to make some decisions on my general station setup soon. \nAntenna space is limited, and I want to take the possibility of the \ngeosync bird into consideration.  From what I've read and seen on video, \nthe uplinks and downlinks to the satellite will be microwave.  The \nsatellite track will make a figure-8 pattern in the sky, but I don't \nknow how large that pattern will be at my location. My 144 and 440 MHz \nantennas will not be compatible with the new bird.  But will the 144/440 \nradios be useful, perhaps as an IF after the digital gymnastics happen \nin a converter?\n\nSo, my questions:\n\n- Are any \"dummy\" Keplarian elements available for the geosynch bird's \nplanned (or likely) orbit? That would let me do some \"what-iffing.\"\n- If the above are not available, could someone tell me the approximate \nrange of azimuth and elevation I might expect from CN87 (Seattle area)?\n- What is the physical size of the required dishes?\n- Will the radio for the new bird be self-contained, or require another \nradio as an IF?  If the latter, what frequency band or bands are being \ncontemplated for the IF?\n\nIf I've asked things that are too sensitive to discuss right now, let me \nknow and I'll shut up.  :-)\n\n73,\n--Peter, KD7MW\n\n",
