What magnitude of Doppler shift would be expected at 10.4 GHz? Total
shift, and more importantly, rate of shift.
I've done some preliminary testing with a DVB-S2 receiver, and it can
handle 30 kHz/second no problem.

Obviously less operational ground stations, but might encourage the construction of 10G ground stations (Ku PLL LNB, bias-t, FCDPP or RTLSDR), which fuels the five/dime drive. Baby steps toward 10G amateur satellite spectrum use? Doppler at 10G from LEO should be fun. Antenna would be compact, maybe a patch on one side of a 4-layer board and components on the other....room for the solar cells?
