Mode U/S with AO-40 was a real pleasure to work, with excellent signals once the receiving set-up had been optimized (1.2 m solid dish and a good DB6NT LNA). Living here in high density WiFi area, cordless phones, wireless CCTV and all kind of 2.4 Ghz junk ! I could regularly hear the noise floor of the S band transponder and contact very low power stations. 73's Eric EA5GIY
