LeRoy, This has been done with the RS birds (2M/10M). 6M and 1 1/4M are not allowed in all Regions (1-3) which leaves only 10M and 2M for an all VHF Satellite. The major draw back to this mode is during peak Sunspot activity, signals from the Satellite can not get through the Ionosphere on 10M. Art, KC6UQH

This is probably one of those questions that has a very simple answer maybe something I wasn't thinking of.
On the FM birds how come the split is V/U or U/V? Are there any V/V birds?
I mean if doppler doesn't effect the vhf as much wouldn't it make since to have some V/V? Wouldn't have to worry about doppler anyways
I know there is a reason, so I am curious that is all!
