      Hi Joe,
I believe the two sides of both of the satellites had different, fixed, frequency settings.  So, you can tell which side it was by what frequencies you were using.

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.

One of my winter projects is to get all of my OSCAR contacts back to 1989
in LOTW.  Unfortunately, my older logs are not available.
What are folks doing about contacts made on RS-10/11?  My log book says
RS-10/11 and LOTW wants either RS-10 or RS-11 and I really don't have a
way to tell which?  The same conundrum applies to RS-12/13, but it appears
I logged most of them as RS-13 for some reason.
Thanks and 73,

Hi Joe,
Beginning from OSCAR-6 up to AO40 I have all my QSO recorded on
a professional tape recorder REVOX A77 using 1/4" tape winded in many
and many big coils each 10.63 " in diameter and so I can enjoy to hear time
to time the voice of my old satellite friends and as well the CW ROBOT
of the RS satellites.Before to start any QSO I mention on tape the name of
the satellite the orbit numbar and the date, just for record along with the
log on paper.
