[amsat-bb] 15-10m satellite transponders to be launched

[Tom M0LTE]

I find myself slightly surprised that solar minimum wouldn’t be the best
time to work 10/15m sats.

With traditionally poor band conditions the ionosphere won’t be reflective-
making it ideal for getting your signal up and down to/from the sat,
through the now-transparent ionosphere. No?

Cheers
Tom
