[amsat-bb] Re: HF satellite?

[Simon (HB9DRV)]

Some rough and ready calculations *assuming a LEO* are that PSK needs the TX 
frequency adjusting every second or so, certainly over the duration of a 
short PSK transmission no Doppler correction on TX at 29MHz will result in 
no QSO.

But there's plenty of software which can adjust an HF transmitter so it'll 
just be a question of user education. Myself I would probably TX with my 
TS-480 and RX with a TS-2000.

PSK-125 may be a better option as it is on 6m when there's an opening (such 
as today).
