Uplink power for working ARISSat-1?
Hi,
Thought I would give the ARISSat transponder a try. Any recomendations from those that have worked it.
I have available a 9 element yagi and about 20W at the feed point
Is this likely to work or do I need a few kW ?
Thanks

John,
I hear my signal back very well with an 18 el crossyagi and 40 W TRX output. However so far nobody came back to CQ. I think your setup should work. Try CW.
How about a sked tomorrow for the passes around 10:07 and/or 11:42?
