[amsat-bb] Re: S band and Eagle: an appeal for a higher level discussion

It's my fault - I worked AO-40 on opening day, it was fun signals were strong. Before AO-40 quit working, it was unuseable due to RF polution here in densely populated South Dakota. I pined for the good old days of AO-13 and mode B. So I guess the change was made for me.

The good news is you probably already have a mode B station. Remove the heavy dish and delicate downconverter and replace it with a cheap, lightweight and easy to homebrew yagi.
