The actual uplink is usually in the 10 to 25 watt region for video,
and it would take less for a narrow audio only signal. An all solid
state microwave transmitter would only consume a few hundred watts. The
studio equipment would use more energy than the uplink. BTW, i have
been trying to track down the owner of an abandoned C-band video
confrencing earth station that was built by Microdyne. I want the
equipment because the system is serial number one, and the only uplink
they ever built.
