Re: [amsat-bb] TV question

["Frederick M. Spinner" <fspinner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could mount the AO-40 patch to the side of the Prime Focus feed in the 
East-West direction similiar to described in the "up-down" direction in this 
months QST with little effect to AO-40 reception.  (except for the 
"detuning" of the patch not being in the phase center)  That's what I'm 
planning to do when I get the BUD up.  Or alternatively do that with the 
C-band feed instead and put the Mode-S patch in the center.
