Nick, Zach et al,
The suggestion for an L band uplink, or any uplink or downlink above 70cm for that matter, is very welcome. We absolutely need to populate the higher UHF and SHF bands in a way that we can justify their allocation to the amateur radio and amateur satellite services when we amateurs sit with regulators to defend them. Higher bands are more challenging to use, but they do offer advantages -- wider bandwidths, higher data rates, etc.
A project is underway to do just that. See this story:
