The 2M /70cm is not the best choice on a satellite 23,000 miles away. 2M suffers from galatic noise, 70cm is siginificantly better. 1 to 2 GHz is considered optimum for SETTI work. Best choice is 902-928 up and 1.2 GHz down. Next best choice is 2.4 GHz or 70cm up for satellites not centered over North America. P4 will bring us, no Doppler, no tracking, no spin rotation, fixed dishes. Something we have yet to experience in satellite communications. It has my vote if I have one.

You always do. Vote in the director elections. You get three or four votes.
