A mode K satellite would be cool, but not many rigs can do full duplex on Mode K. The FT847, TS2000 and Icom 9100 can't. It would almost take 2 HF rigs, or a Yaesu FTDX9000,

first satellite station was a Swan 350 and a R3A receiver, commodore 64 puter. That's all it took! I've come a very long way! 73 Bob W7LRD

I would just miss the full duplex possibility mode "A" gives you.

As noted, the entry to Ham radio is not via HF these days, but with no HEO sats, one can stretch the footprint pretty well with an HF bird, working it well below the horizon. That might attract more usage of the HF bands, and revitalize a lost mode of communication with some really bizarre propagation.
