I remember doing something this on the NASA application technology satellite 1, ATS-1, back in 1984 as part of my university project. In that project we were using a Helical beam antenna for the uplink; and a cross Yagi antenna for the downlink. We were transmitting up link at about 150 MHz, and we had voice Communications onto the satellite. Yeah it was pretty amazing hearing the time lag between you're up link and the audio downlink. It was part of the PEACESAT project.

I work in our radio engineering department and deal with microwave links and maintain our equipment throughout our valleys. Find stuff for people who are interested in the GHz communication world! And your warning sign made me laugh too! Radiation burns are no fun… definitely don’t wanna step in front of your dish! All of our microwave links are static in motion… when you sent the aiming commands to the controller, was that it peaking itself to find the strongest signal when it was wiggling back and forth? Occasionally, our dishes will work themselves loose with wind and snowfall and we need to have 2 teams to peak a dish. Also! I would’ve thought you would be in the K or Ka bands, not C and X bands with how far away the satellites are. A lot of ours are in the millimeter wave but our longest link is only about 40 miles or so. Even so, we get tons if rain fade and our links sometimes have to downgrade to lower frequencies to overcome environment factors. Also curious about licensing? Do you have to have frequency provisioning and licensing? Is Canada still governed by fcc too? Haha, just left a voicemail too 😂😂😂

In the 80's it was 40ft dish with 32/64K PCM or occasionally, 16K CVSD voice. Used to demonstrate multi hop by dialing in and out of ground terminals up and back from the sats. Having two or more second delays on the speech was more than adequate to get people to appreciate the speed of light and equipment processing!!

I worked for Westwood One in Washington DC around 2000. We had another office in Culver City California. The two facilities were interconnected with a bi-directional Ku band satellite hookup. We had the ability to send two, stereo-audio channels (broadcast quality) both ways simultaneously, and we had some extensions from the phone systems connected on either end. From DC, we could dial directly to an extension in the Culver City office or out to the PSTN. THe folks in Culver could do the same thing through our PABX. It was a pretty cool setup, but there was some satellite delay when trying to carry on a conversation. The audio channels were crystal clear and were FM broadcast quality. I'm not entirely sure how it worked, but it was pretty reliable, except when we were having a heavy rain downpour!

Well in the UK they done away with dog licenses may years ago. As for the need for a TV license, that is to pay for the BBC only. As that is how they get a LOT of their money, as they do NOT put advertisements in the flow of a TV show. I also think the BBC is known all around the world for it’s high standards of broadcasting. But as for NOT needing or having licences for everything in America, is that a GOOD thing ??? As I know that I would feel much better and safer knowing that to want to get something’s that you need a licence for. I know one big joke to me, is the driving licence. As I see on the News and real life TV shows, that the police can stop someone in a car, and they had their licence taken off them for drink driving or for some other reason. But they still go out and drive a car. They then go to court and get a 2 years driving ban. If they had no license in the first place, do you thing that giving them a 2 year ban is going to stop them ??? Make them pay a BIG fine or put them in jail for a few months. Then when they are not able to work, the penny might drop that it is them and only them that are been affected. I myself am a radio ham, but I also think that to use a transmitter or transceiver should be OK, but NOT on all parts of the radio spectrum. It is OK to listen to anything, but if you had a FOOL on the radio that was jamming up that frequency that might be needed for emergency response, is 100% STUPID. I know that about 95% of people would be more responsible. It was when in the UK we did NOT have CB radios, as we got ones that came from America. But they had been on AM. So when the British Government got that many people wanting CB radio to be OK to use in the UK, the Government made it that they had to be FM only. Then you also needed a radio CB licence for them. It would have been OK if the government had policed them that used CB’s. But anyone and their cat could do or say whatever they wanted to. So in the end, many did NOT renew their license. So now in the UK you do NOT need a CB licence anymore. I will be 100% truthful with you, I had an illegal AM radio, and when everyone had moved to FM, I did NOT get a licence. I also bought myself an Icom 706MK 2 G and did the mod to it so it could be used on the CB band. But then one of my friends wanted to go in for his ham exam, but he knew NOTHING of how to use or setup a radio, so I went along with him. Then I also did the exam to become a ham. Not that I use it that much, but it is there for if or when I need it. I also have 2 small FM broadcasts transmitters, they only kick out 10 watts of power. I can see it coming that something will happen when the internet and mobile phone communications will stop. As it might have to do with a solar flare or a government knocking out a few satellites 🛰️ and cutting underwater cables. As everything is now dependent on GPS or the internet in someway. I hope that I NEVER will need to use them. As I only have 2 sisters that live about 1 mile away from me, and I could give them either a Homebase CB each, or a PMR radio each. As for power, I get given a shit load of throwaway vapes, and I take out the lithium batteries. As I am making a few power banks that they can charge with solar panels or a wind turbine. So I am NOT against anyone using any sort of radio, just as long as the nutters do not take over the airwaves and think that just because they move been of a specific frequency, that they own it and do and say whatever they want to. As I have told you, I have had radio equipment that I was NOT meant to transmit on, as I went on the marine band and put in a call to the port office for a radio check. They thought NOTHING wrong with it, as I was polite and sounded like I knew what I was doing. But I did NOT then try to talk to ships or fishing boats, as them fools would do. If you sound that you belong on that frequency and you use the right words and protocols, then who is to tell that you do not have a licence.

Hopefully the FCC doesnt come knocking

Nice old technology. Way to go brother.

I'm curious what codec was being used. An old phone codec like those under G.711 which expected 64 kbit each way, and thus you had about 50% packet loss? I'd love to see this done with a modern compressing codec which can work within that 32 kbit bandwidth limit, like G.729.
