[amsat-bb] Geostationary & HEO Satellites

[Simon Brown]

Paul,

Es'Hail 2 is up, working and should be released for hams in February (last info I saw on AMSAT UK). 2.4 GHz up, 10 GHz down, it'll be fantastic.

Geo over NA would be a great addition.

The geosat is not even launched and the ham radio community is exchanging technics to overcome technical challenges.

I was thinking of other geosat uses.  A beacon in the sky for taking antenna patterns.  A frequency reference for calibration.  Verifying antenna G/T.  Calibrating antenna AZ/EL pointing.  Endless uses.
