When the newbies will be \"experts\" they will probably look for something \nelse? what the satellite community has to offer? Plans, future plans, projection, funding campaign? Then they will also probably ask for \nthe \"Usefullness\" of LEO'S. \n\nIt's like eating peanuts before the lunch too much of it will only lead to a loss of appetite!\n\nLEO HEO\nAO-51 0\nVO-52 \t\t\t\t0\nSO-50\t\t\t\t0\nAO-27\t\t\t\t0\t\t\nAO-7------>!\t\t0\nAO-16\t\t\t\t0\nFO-29\t\t\t\t0\nISS\t\t\t\t\t0\nGO-32\t\t\t\t0\n_______\n9 0\n\nP.S. AO-51 last V/S mode was at least a bit of challenge but with very few users. It was a good time to test new S band antenna's. The \nfoliage absorption at those frequencies is also very noticeable i was able to pin point every tree around my QTH making the satellite \nusable only over 14 degrees reducing even more the usable time slot. The most dramatic effect is the fades coming from the satellite spin \nof the polarisation? i don't know but some are reporting receiving more fades that usable signal. Is it mode S suitable for LEO.S i'm not \nsure even if i was able to have a QSO with a mobile station in V/S!!!\n\n\"-\"\n\n\nLuc Leblanc VE2DWE\nSkype VE2DWE\nwww.qsl.net/ve2dwe\nWAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE\n\n \n\n", "attachments": [] }
