Re: Re Power Levels Into Satellites

      John,
Instead of suggesting someone else do it, how about writing it up and sending it in yourself? The Journal takes submissions from anyone who will write...

Hello Mike,
              I've been suggesting this for donkey's !!! years ... (12 at 
least) ... in my earlier columns in Oscar News, The Amsat Journal, on 
http://www.observations.biz/ and on the various satellite reflectors ... 
but so far it's fallen on deaf ears.
See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eu-amsat/?yguid=188558692
You'd think this would be in the interest of the editors of the Amsat 
journals ... but obviously not.
I hope your posting generates more response than mine have. Perhaps with the 
demise of FO-29 more people might start to become aware of the problem.

What would be useful for people coming into the satellite world would be a
series of maximum recommended power levels for each of the satellites 
listed
on the AMSAT Website,
e.g. SO50,
      Antenna - Eggbeater  - 50 watts up to 30 degrees, 10 watts above.
                      1/4 wave ground plane - 50 watts
                      3 ele. beam
                      10 ele beam
                      12 ele beam
   etc.
Also, listing modes.
At the moment, many make the excuse they do not have the time, information,
nor skills to calculate the levles. They're usually the ones that are 'deaf
as a post' on the downlink as well
Then any alligators could be steered to the relevant list.
Best Regards
