Emily and others,
When you say you got into AO-7 with 2-watts at a low
elevation what exactly does that mean? What kind of
horizon do you have? I suspect most of us have trees
at least at those kinds of elevations so 2-watts will
not cut it. Are you talking EIRP out of the antenna
or 2-watts out of the rig with a few dB cable loss and
25-dB gain at the antenna? Has anyone done a link
budget on AO-7 recently that has been published or put
on the web? A recent link budget would be especially
useful to those who don't work it regularly or are new
to the bird. Perhaps those who work it regularly can
give us all a feel for what needs to be the received
power at the satellite. Just wondering... and thanks
for any responses.
Also, we can always use more ops on FO-29 which is
also a super bird which is not of a young age anymore
either.
