WB4APR recommends no more than 25 watts.
The prelaunch orbit estimate I saw was a 700 km x 350 km orbit with an expected orbital lifespan of 3 years. I'm not sure how close that is to the final orbit.

A couple of questions:
How much power (to a dipole) is recommended for uplinking on 28.120 PSK31?
Also, what is it's altitude?
And, how long is its expected lifespan?
Thanks in advance.
