Domenico,
The recordings sound neat.
I would have not known at the time of the QSO if I were talking on RS-10 or RS-11. As you know they were multiple satellites, but physically connected together as one orbiting object, they may have even had only one power bus.

If I remember right they where connected to a host satelite and used that satelites powerbus, same for RS12/13.
