\"Es'hail-2<\/a>Markus Vester DF6NM<\/strong> successfully used the digital mode OPERA to send a 2.5 milliwatt signal on 2.4 GHz through the amateur radio transponder on the Es’hail-2 \/ QO-100 geostationary satellite.<\/p>\n

Markus started using 250 milliwatts on 2.4 GHz into a 60 cm dish pointing at Es’hail-2. The downlink signal was received via the AMSAT-UK and BATC 10 GHz WebSDR<\/a> at Goonhilly in Cornwall by Peter Knol PA1SDB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Markus then reduced power to just 2.5 milliwatts and the signal was still receiveable.<\/p>\n
