I have used the AO-40 set-up\nwith 40 W on 1268 MHz to 2 19 turn helix antennas, when it was\nnecessary.\nThat accounts to something like an EIRP of 1 kW taking cable\nloss into account.\n\nAgain it confirms Mike, N1JEZ's observations for the L band uplink.\nQuote:\nFor an occasional contact, 150 watts EIRP.\nFor medium level performance, 500 watts EIRP.\nFor superior performance, 1 kW EIRP or higher.\n\nAs Mike also points out, doppler tracking must be correct, PC time\nmust be correct, antenna pointing must be correct and so on.\n\nI use SatPC32 to control the IC-910, which I leave on all the\ntime to avoid temperature drift during warm up periods.\n\nWhen we get AO-51 in mode-L/U it is time to get the frequency\ntracking right for the 1268 MHz uplink.\nThe 70 cm downlink is much easier to hear than the 2.4 GHz downlink.\nThat makes it easier to get the frequency right on the L band\nuplink.\n\nOctober 2 to October 9\nFM Repeater, V/U\nUplink: 145.920 MHz FM, 67 hz PL Tone\nDownlink: 435.300 MHz FM\nFM Repeater, L/U\nUplink: 1268.700 MHz, No PL Tone\nDownlink: 435.150 MHz FM\n\nNOTE: The 435.150 MHz downlink is left hand circular.\n\nHave fun.\n\n73 OZ1MY\nIb\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Michael Fletcher\" <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Monday, September 18, 2006 7:33 AM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] AO-51 mode L/S\n\n\n> Hi all,\n>\n> been copying AO-51 on L/S mode very nicely over the past\n> few days.
