Excellent point, 

and I should use my spell checker more often. "Portrait" should have been
"portrayed".

Hi Stefan, VE4NSA

The reverse is true. If the result of the S band as a downlink on AO40 was
extremely succesfull why AMSAT-NA is not believing in AMSAT-DL ?
The decision of AMSAT-DL to reuse the S band for downlink of P3E is based
on already experimented facts using AO40 and there is no question about
that.
Is someone in condition to demonstrate that the S band of AO40 was a
catastrophical affair ?
Don't worry about because if P3E will be succesfull in orbit at the end of
2007 than the S band as a downlink will be again the voice of truth.
