You can do full duplex on HF if you have two HF rigs, only one needs receive capability so it is not that expensive.
I did it on the RS HF birds. - Duffey KK6MC

Got my vote for 15 up and 10 down. RS-12 was my second satellite (RS-10 was the first).
As noted, the entry to Ham radio is not via HF these days, but with no HEO sats, one can stretch the footprint pretty well with an HF bird, working it well below the horizon. That might attract more usage of the HF bands, and revitalize a lost mode of communication with some really bizarre propagation.
