LES1 had a bent-pipe transponder on it. I wonder if the transponder came alive too? Google might be able to find the uplinks and downlinks. Bob

No, I was interested in the UHF uplink and UHF downlink, Not the microwave transponders... If its there, the South American UHF Pirates will probably fill it up pretty fast...
