[amsat-bb] Re: Phase 4 versus Eagle

[Robert McGwier]

We do not know the answer yet.  Our request is for multiple payloads,
covering with subsat over Atlantic, Pacific, and Central U.S.  We would
need one over the Indian Ocean to cover the 2 pi radians of the equator
with antenna pattern.  The north and south pole would be left out so I
am sure the emperor penguins and polar bears would be upset!
