[amsat-bb] L band gear

[Jerry Buxton]

Amazing performance by AO-92s "Downshifter" experiment, IMO.  We did not
expect that degree of sensitivity through the UHF RX antenna, hence the
relatively hefty power (PEP) recommendation prior to launch which was
quickly dialed back when we tested during commissioning, and
corroborated by several reports of user QSOs with an HT.  Another great
design contribution by Engineering volunteer John Klingelhoeffer, WB4LNM.
