How big antenna and what band should be used? Please calculate the best combination here: http://www.changpuak.ch/electronics/calc_10.php Note that you need about -120dBm signal to be heard in receiver. The path is about 400000km (240000 miles). -jari oh3uw ;-) _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
