Even if this PSK/FM design was only in LEO it would be very heavily used I believe but I think there would be limitations to the volume of traffic that it would get at a higher orbit. The disadvantage of the L/S in the higher orbit is it will take away the advantage I mentioned about a ready pool of HF PSK operators to immediately use the thing. That would put it back into the realm of a niche hobby for the few.

Add to the aforementioned - all in a sat that is in a Molniya type orbit with L & S band capability like AO-40 (sobsob)
