[amsat-bb] EO-80 FM Transponder Tested (noise floor?)

I notice 2M has a high noise floor when im working AO-7, Theres a few same spots on the passband that have these giant swooshing sounds/etc, It wont be a problem on EO-80 as I as well have found it dosent affect me on FM, maybe EO-79. Looks like we wont have to wait for FOX-1 in september to cover for SO-50... Its really hard to do portable FM operations here where I live, theres lots of trees, so it makes working SO-50 very difficult because of its 250 mw power, I wish they would just increase the power on the thing.
