Mike, I still have the 10 gHz downconverter I built for that never-used mode :-(  \n\nMy first contacts were on 05 May 2001:  W1BFN, KB2WQM (now KB2M), W7ID, N1JEZ, WL7BQM (first DX), and WC0Y--all in mode U/S.  My last contact was K5VAS on 22 Nov 2003 using mode L/S.  Later that weekend I took down my antennas to move to VK8.  I took everything I needed to work AO-40 in Australia, including an 18\" DSS dish with a dual-band feed, but by the time I moved and got into a penthouse apartment with a big deck looking north (why do you think I had to find a top floor with that view?), AO-40 died.  \n\nIf it hadn't been for the launch of Eagle (AO-51), I would have never been able to use that L/S gear.  I used it dozens of times to talk to myself on AO-51 as it orbited over the Indian Ocean :-)  I used to do the same thing on ISS packet.  From where I was located (Darwin, NT), there were no other population centers within the footprint of the LEOs (not even Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, or Singapore).\n\n73,\nJerry, K5OE\n\n>Those were fun days Clare!\n>\n>My most challenging contacts were made using K band (24 GHz down).
