[amsat-bb] Working AO40 with portable station ?

["William Leijenaar" <pe1rah@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi AMSATs,

Today I was listening again to AO40, and I did some tests with 70cm uplink. 
What I findo out, and also see very often on AMSAT-BB is that uplinks on 
70cm are in the range of 20W to 50W.

I have here an 2m/70cm back-pack station, and I want to upgrade it with 13cm 
RX to work via the AO40. The station has only 10W PEP, with an 7 elements 
yagi. I have only an deaf NORSAT convertor for now, but I am wondering if 
this will be enough to work via AO40, and if I can hear my signal back with 
an KUHNE 13cm RX convertor and 80cm dish ???

I'm just an student, and its a big cost when I buy it and find out in 
practice that it does not work.

73 de PE1RAH, William
