Today SV8RV did copy my 0.2mW signal in OP05 via QO100. Dish is 2 meter
:-)
It was not possible to become decoded with less power [21/9/2019]
Peter, reports the 200 uW carrier power was measured at the feed point of his 2 meter dish,
[noting , that in terms of energy expended , power deployed equates to 100 uW ]
SV8RV , taking the signal off air at 10GHz
Quite outstanding , taking the frequency and path involved , not to mention the AO100 sat !
In terms of actual power deployed, due to the 50% mark/space ratio , this equates to 100uW
- noting that when the TX is 'off;' power is no being supplied , so. only power deployed is
actually used .
Test with longer timelines , op1 are planned soon, all the band decoders , benefited from the ea5dom
eme tests , the main concern ,being the ability of the AFC to track the signal , faster times are 'simpler'
seemingly . over the Sat , stability is good, so , longer times should function ....
