Hi,
Interesting idea.
Problems to overcome:
Size of dish / patch required to be flown as part of satellite Attitude control and pointing in real time Power management Band width limitations Doppler correction Frequency stabilty
Any more folks?

Es’hail-2 geostationary satellite carrying AmateurRadio transponders expected to launch November 15 - 2018/11/05/
Most of the operators have no gears to covering the new frequencies.
So is it possible to put a down-converter and up-converter in one of the cubesat ??
Also the foot print will extend tremendously as the cubesat cover new distance far from all Es’hail fixed footprint ?!
Anyone’s can use V/U gears tracking the cubesat ,which really the signal from Es’hail sat!!
Again it’s a mind storm idea. I Hope others will share with more ideas and info !!
