Hi John,
My concern with adding 10 meters to a competition class VHF/UHF high end satellite rig, is that the rig will turn into another mediocre HF rig with VHF/UHF added on.
If we do start building Mode-A satellites in the future, then we can always use Two radios, a dedicated HF and a High performance Sat rig.
The primary goal is to have the engineers put all the money into a kick but 6/2/440 transceiver.
Thank you very much for your comments.

You also need 10m for Mode A. I'm still hoping that RS12/13 pops back to life like AO7 and will have its Mode T going again. That was alot of fun.
