I was going to set up to receive AO-51 on VS when it occurred to me that I need the 144 band as the receiver for the S band down-converter. Then I remembered that I used to have QSOs on AO-40 with the same gear that I still have, but I do not remember and can not find any notes as what band we used for the uplink.
Will someone with a better memory/set of notes please remind me what band we used for the uplink?

Hi Gene,
You may want to build the mode V/S adapter from the Sept/Oct 2005 AMSAT Journal (also CQ-DL 2-2007.)
This is an easy to build, $5 device that converts mode S downconverters to 6 meters. Then you can use the 2m-band for your uplink.
If you need a copy of the article, email me.
