I have to agree with Edgar, expand your capabilities and use it as designed SSB or CW. There are two other FM birds out there and thats where the FM should stay ..

I am with G7HIA on this one, namely that *** if there is no damage to the satellite *** a QRP (below 5w handy) operation might be considered to be feasible on a centre frequency. It is not our bird to give permission. There are of course two transponders on board. If permission were given ONLY for QRP in effect this means that WE must police this. It would be for us to discorage alligators. (Technically alligators can already use the bird anyway but don't). 73 de andy g0sfj _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
