Hi all. An interesting observation this morning (in CN87) I coppied OH5LK on FO-29 calling CQ in CW at about 1840Z while uplinking to AO-7. FO-29 was out of LK's footprint at the time. So ground to sat-to sat-to ground was observed. The downlink of AO-7 is the uplink of FO-29. To complete a qso in that mode one to tx and rx at the same time on 70cm. The mind goes numb! having fun 73 Bob W7LRD
So with a little mind numbing calculation, you might be able to set a new distance record for satellite communications cross mode...If you wanted to keep it pure you could use AFSK on AO-27 with CW on AO-7.
