[amsat-bb] Re: Re Power Levels Into Satellites

[Andrew Glasbrenner <glasbrenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

Instead of suggesting someone else do it, how about writing it up and sending it in yourself? The Journal takes submissions from anyone who will write...

>>                       3 ele. beam
>>                       10 ele beam
>>                       12 ele beam
>>    etc.
>>Also, listing modes.
