is sat operations even legal on that band? 12M?

The old Russian 15 & 10 meters were cool,

I'd like to see a good old mode "A" myself. It has to be the easiest ( except for the FM Channel repeater on a very tall tower equivalent birds)

Extreme simple gear can get you on Mode "A"

Ive done it with a dipole on 10 and a coathanger GP on 2 and the 2 transmitter was a FM rig with the mic disconnected and a straight key on the PTT. it was a little chirpy but hey worked like 30 states with that simple thing.

I may have a launch opportunity for an HF=HF transponder for a possible cubesat idea.  Probably something like 12m up and 10m down?

Is this worth doing (re-doing) at this point of technology?  Enough bandwidth to support a few voice channels?

Any volunteers to build the translator board?

How is 24 MHz band used?  The entire SSB portion of the band is only 60 kHz, so using say 15 kHz for a linear translator to 10m would be quite a slice.  But then the downlink at 10m would be OK since it does have an exclusive satellite band and so any inadvertent QSO's would be coming down in a non-competing downlink

Just some open ended thinking after Dayton.
