I was writing at that time at elevation 0 a floor noise swinging between \nS-3 to S-5 on my Ft-847. I was concern at that time with the low elevation pass where i can be able \nto reach japan. What i hear was the usual pop pop but tweaking the DSP and the NB i reduce this \nQRM/N to a level where i was able to perform a QSO, and i made it i work Japan a couple of time \nthen.\n\nAt 25 degree of elevation the noise fell at S-1 and at 35 degree to 90 the noise remain at .5 S \nunits.\n\nAt that time The telephone and WI-FI interference was one of the main topics of discussion when \nspeaking about U/S mode on AO-40.\n\nOver the week end i recheck my S band noise with EXACTLY THE SAME SETUP i was using in the above \ntest. Did you know what i discover? EXACTLY the same results and AO-40 was placing a S6 to S9 \nsignal at apogee with squint near 0.\n\nIf AO-40 was still on i certified that i will able to replicate the same results without any \ndoubts!\n\nThe S2 TX power was about 100 watts and the antenna was only an helix of 8 turns if i can remember \ncorrectly. Even if Eagle delivers half this power with a cheaper antenna i am convince i will still \nbe able to make it.\n\nYou know my town was the fourth first erected in North America during the french regime. She's \nprobably not the greatest in the world actually...but we have electricity and WI-FI and cordless \nphones who evoluate at the same pace as the other big towns on earth.\n\nThis is real stuff from the real world and base on what i checked this week end i still don't \nbelieve the conclusions made about this FAKED noise problem. \n\nWhat they calculate it is an existing situation who was existing since 2003. Playing with carrier \nand large bandwidth receiver only confirm that during the whole life of AO-40 THE WHOLE WORLD \nsucceed and quite easily to establish numerous CW and SSB contacts all over the world.\n\nThis argumenting about a noise floor does not stand the road at all. Did they go fishing to see the \nreactions of the users? Did they want to force their own ways of thinking to the users or are they \nmaking some other clever tricks to as usual make the users swallow the sour pills? Be my guest and \nadded your own explanation to my list.\n\nAs you all know i develop during the recent years on this reflector a kind of carapace and i just \ngive view an overview of what i received in this \"trouble period\":\"I get emotional \nwhen people do not use the minds they have been given and allow people \nwho are no longer even members of our organization drive a debate.\" I was always asking to \nrestricts the posting privileges to MEMBERS ONLY when i was member but i was told by high ranking \nBOD members (could be the same he refer to)... that the AMSAT-BB is open to all...\n\nSorry about this but i always believe the insulting comments are the arguments of the weeks or \nthose who are making mistakes and who tries to cover them. Anyway i will protect the identity of \nthis one but this bad planning by AMSAT-NA will only draw more and more members out. Will only \nremain those with political, financial, selfish interest.\n\nMy only hope is they are not all in the president donor club...\n\n>From this on i suggest a motto for the October AMSAT symposium \"WE WANTS S BAND DOWNLINKS ON EAGLE\" \nAs i am not a member i can only suggest it but i will try to update my web page to promote the \nmotto.\n\nIf S band downlink will be on eagle i will join the \"gang\"\n\nSee you later S bander ;)\n\n\"-\"\nThe medium is the message...The content is the audience...;)\n\nLuc Leblanc VE2DWE\nSkype VE2DWE\nwww.qsl.net/ve2dwe \n", "attachments": [] }
