[amsat-bb] Re: S band downlink on P3E

[Félim Doyle M3HIM]

I was sorry to hear that too (the same week I bought a Cal. Amp. 2.4GHz
downconverter). It might be a noisy band but how much can it cost to put the
kit on the bird anyway? Even if it is not in regular scheduled use, at least
it will be there when (or rather if) another downlink fails.
