[amsat-bb] Re: The Eagle has died.

[Eric Van Offelen]

Mode U/S with AO-40 was a real pleasure to work, with excellent signals once 
the receiving set-up had been optimized (1.2 m solid dish and a good DB6NT 
LNA).
Living here in high density WiFi area, cordless phones, wireless CCTV and 
all kind of 2.4 Ghz junk !
I could regularly hear the noise floor of the S band transponder and contact 
very low power stations.
