Excellent point,
and I should use my spell checker more often. "Portrait" should have been "portrayed".

The main problem with the whole discussion is that the majority of folks have NOT seen the data. In addition, if the data are as sound as they are portrait, why is AMSAT-DL not believing in them and is including S-band as
a
downlink. How is the discussion between ANSAT-NA and AMSAT-DL going on
this?

Hi Stefan, VE4NSA
The reverse is true. If the result of the S band as a downlink on AO40 was extremely succesfull why AMSAT-NA is not believing in AMSAT-DL ? The decision of AMSAT-DL to reuse the S band for downlink of P3E is based on already experimented facts using AO40 and there is no question about that. Is someone in condition to demonstrate that the S band of AO40 was a catastrophical affair ? Don't worry about because if P3E will be succesfull in orbit at the end of 2007 than the S band as a downlink will be again the voice of truth.
