The best part of this is the *rotorless* antenna setup needed to work. Also, if you are in a condo, it looks just like a satellite dish ;-). I definitely see membership growing because of this. Just need to buy the expensive SSB rig, amps, transverters, etc..

The condo dweller will not need the expensive SSB rig, amps, etc. The linear transponder cannot be sized to support the condo dweller. We do not have sufficient territory for the antenna this would require. The condo dweller is our target for the digital transponder. It will provide hundreds of channels for voice, some for TV,data. etc. This will use the smaller antenna the condo dweller WITH A SOUTHERN EXPOSURE can use. There are always thorns on a rose.
