Hi All,

< snip>

So, I have two questions.

1. Should I be worried about damaging my rig (IC-9100) with the 2:1 SWR on AO-07 ?

NO damaging to your rig will occur with a 2:1 SWR because the reflected power from the antenna to your rig will be only the 10% of the incident power.

2. Will future satellites be in the 435 to 438Mhz range?

YES

Thanks
