[amsat-bb] Highest data rate achieved in the Amateur Satellite Service

Hi,

I would be interested to know what the highest data rate achieved from an amateur satellite is/was. I seem to recall some sats using 38.4K but not sure if this is true, or how successful they were.

I'm guessing that use of 'normal' amateur radio rigs, eg ICOM 910 isnt really practical for these higher data rates (although I know of an add one unit from Symek, which will provide higher bandwidth from the 910, and other radios).

Is anyone planning to use a higher data rate?

I'd be interesting to read any comments folk might have.
