[amsat-bb] Re: 1.2 GHZ to AO 51 with 1 watt ?

Hi Mark-Maybe with a fairly high gain antenna and a high elevation.  That would be fun to play with.  Tracking the doppler would be a challange.  But then, "if it were easy, everyone would be doing it".

I recently acquired a 1.2 GHZ handheld that has a max output of one watt.   Any thoughts about how well this would work with AO51 ?  Would a hand held antenna be feasible ?   Just curious.  Thnx
