no experimenting with hardware or various antenna systems,
Hello Bob,
I think the challenge will be finding the most economical and portable setup for the everyday ham.
For example: How can you take a cheap LNB and alter the printed microstrip filters for a lower frequency? How can that be done repeatably by someone who doesn't have a shack full of test equipment?
I occasionally make it to France and Belgium, so I'll have a chance to work it if I can work out something portable. Perhaps a collapsible foil dish?
Lots of fun times ahead, even if you aren't correcting Doppler or swinging antennas around!
