Thank you for the information - I am getting now interested in this area to research what type of modes were used to communicate and the observed/reported characteristics of operation in those bands. Might come in handy when choosing subsystems to fly on future nano-satellites/pico-satellites.

Thank you also: Arthur and John for your detailed replies.

Hello Samudra, Here's some examples of OSCARS and RS-series that have used the bands (or at least flown transmitters/receivers to do so) 40m - UO-09 20m - UO-09 15m - UO-09, RS-12/13 10m - plenty including AO-7,AO-51 3.4GHz - none to my knowledge 5.8GHz - AO-40 receive, P3-E transmit (proposed) 10GHz - AO-40 (didn't work) 24GHz - AO-40 (heard this one in operation)

Hope this helps.
