This Echostar experiment enables amateur radio legacy mode aggregation, which is a technology presented at AMSAT-NA symposium twice, JAMSAT symposium, and has been published in several other national and international amateur radio journals.
This idea has been publicly supported by FEMA as well as by ARRL. It’s also going to be fun to use.
So, yes, it’s solidly amateur radio related. Any supporting technology discussions, like dishes and feeds, are also relevant to amateur radio. There’s a lot that needs to be built and tested.
This particular project is in addition to two other amateur-all-the-way-up-and-down GEO projects that are moving forward pretty darn well.
I am here to remove roadblocks and make things happen. All are welcome to collaborate and contribute.

Except, this is a bulletin for amateur radio satellites, which echostar is not. Maybe go find a commercial sat fan page if you want to talk about commercial GEO's.

I am too, Bob! I'm amazed how many people feel compelled to tell "accomplishers" that they "do it wrong". I say, "If you don't like it, press [Delete] and move on".

I actually am excited about the prospect of using LNA's from all these throw-away Dish network dishes for something. It's a great educational opportunity. I am happy to tune in anything that is interesting from a technical perspective and I really love making stuff from cast-off stuff.

EXACTLY how do these posts about Echostar 9 relate to amateur satellites other than it being someone's pipedream?
