I am trying to gauge what power levels ham satellites use and what is the rough expected outcome.
For example 100mW CW on UHF seems pretty weak, but 5 W from SO-67 seems to be pretty strong. >From reports, 5 W is HT material. I have sent 100 mW from a glider, and we got around 3 - 7 km's Maybe the birds have gain ant pointed at earth ? These cubesats, what sort of power do they run ?
