[amsat-bb] Re: Lunar Architecture Moon Base

James,

Great info! What would the pros/cons be of using a v/u or u/v transponder?

Clearly the noise levels are higher, but folks are already making EME contacts with both of these bands. Digital bit rates would be lower, but still possible. Wouldn't antenna beam widths be wider as well?

With the amount of libration on the moon, what's the maximum antenna gain per band that you can get before it becomes too much of an issue.

Perhaps this should be in the Amsat FAQ =%-)
