I have been asked by ICOM to webcast field day this year.
Unrelated, but it would be great if someone with a good satcom station recorded the passband of FO29. Not so much to get individual QSO's but to grasp what a full wideband transponder can carry.
IE, tune the passband from one end to the other at a constant rate.
Then again, and again, and again at the same rate. Maybe separate files for each scan so we can tell when a complete scan begins and ends.
This would give those who are unfamiliar with wideband linear transponder operation what the capability really is under FD loading...
Just a thought.
