Why to vaste a lot of battery power using a stady carrier in FM and why to occupy a wide band interfering those who are using CW and SSB ? For the same reason no body was using FM in the early 1970-1980 with satellites like OSCAR-6 , OSCAR-7 and OSCAR-8 Use please those many FM satellites specifically designed for a single channel in FM. 73" de i8CVS Domenico _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
