Hi Bernard,

Yes it is a very good presentation from Paul which summaries well QO-100.

Thanks for sharing.

But more than Paul mentioned, myself experimenting a lot with modifying KU band LNBs, building many dual feeds, repurposing Wifi equipment, PA’s etc… The real beauty of QO-100 for me is that it bring me back to my licence year of 1976 where I could really build my station from components. In spite it is more modules like SDR’s etc.. now. It is really nice to be able to innovate and experiment again many solutions which is obvious on the WEB from feedback of users.

Yes, I hope and wish than US, Oceania and East Asia will be able to enjoy a GEO as we are this side now. Thanks to the Qatar Satellite Company (Es’hailSat) https://www.eshailsat.qa/, the Qatar Amateur Radio Society (QARS) http://www.qsl.net/a71a/, and AMSAT Deutschland (AMSAT-DL https://amsat-dl.org/en/), they did a great job for the community.

Hi All,

Here is a very nice PowerPoint presentation for the European and Katari ham band transponder Geostationary satellite, QO-100. Hopefully, we will one day also have one or a couple of these Ham band transponder GEO satellites over the Americas.
