Wouldn't it have to be, for true cross-satellite operation to occur, the downlink of one satellite to be on the uplink of another? I am also not sure this is true "cross satellite" operation. I would have to agree with Auke, that any signal heard by the other sat would have to be a fluke.

AO-16 and AO-51 have their uplinks in the SAME BAND, and downlinks also in the SAME BAND so wouldn't that make it impossible to for either satellite to react to the other?? The way I read this... you are hearing unintentional uplinks to the satellite you're listening on, just because the second sat has an identical uplink, and overlapping footprint. Please correct me if I'm interpreting this wrongly.

Hey folks,
Mike, WB9L, and I worked cross-satellite at 22:50 UTC.
Mike was on AO-51
to the northeast, while I was working AO-16 to the
southwest. I heard some
other stations that I know were working AO-51, but
didn't get any other
contacts. Both satellites were low elevation to me
here in north Georgia.
