 conclusion : the 1269 MHz-uplink seems to be more sensible to the squint and
              distance than 435 MHz  - as theory predicted -
               Many uplinks on 435 MHz are at the same strength during the
               listening period. My uplink signal become weaker and weaker.
              Hope that my frequency conversion table can help a liitle bit.

 Now time to go to office
