Howdy Gang.
Getting my sat station set up again after many years.
I’m familiar with AO7 and FO29 but not any of the newer LEO sats.
What are the newer LEO’s, with linear transponders for SSB/CW only, that I should take a look at?
Many thanks for any info.

Hi Joe,
Welcome back to the satellite world! We have quite a few SSB/CW LEO sats right now: XW-2A, XW-2B, XW-2C, XW-2D, XW-2F, which all had very good downlink signals. In addition, there are CAS-4A and CAS-4B, EO-88 and AO73, all of which do Mode B, and RS-44 which is in Mode J.
Hope to see you on some of them soon!

XW-2C & 2D can be flaky, as a warning of sorts.
