RE: [amsat-bb] Starshine

[Jean-Louis.RAULT@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks for the information, Phillip.

I wonder if somebody tried to acquire the Starshine transmissions with a
simple handheld receiver, as propsed on the WEB site.
On my side, I used an 11 elements RHCP yagi antenna, a high gain/low noise
preamp and an ICOM IC821H transceiver. The S-meter never went beyond S7.

Cheers
