[amsat-bb] 1.2 gig

[Jerry Buxton]

Hi Jim,

In the amateur satellite service, 1.2 GHz is uplink only.  So you don't
have to worry about preamps for receiving satellites, but if you do
terrestrial L band you can consider that separately.

I can only speak for what I know for sure which is AO-92 (and AO-95, but
she is currently on leave).  On days selected by AMSAT Ops (usually
Sunday UTC) AO-92 is in mode L/v which is 1267.350 MHz up and 145.880
Mhz down.  145.880 is the same downlink as in its normal mode U/v.
