It's difficult for me to believe that 9600 baud would work on a satellite without FEC. But, maybe so.
UO-22, KO-23, KO-25, TO-31, AO-51, GO-32, MO-36, Falconsat-3, and literally dozens of cubesats have and do utilize 9k6 without FEC.
What kind of ground station is required? Do you need circular polarized antennas, antennas with serious gain, tracking? Or can this be done with more normal equipment, like a 3-element yagi like you can use for FM voice on a satellite?
I assume the satellites are stabilized somehow? Fading will kill 9600 baud.
I ask because I don't have any direct experience with this sort of stuff. Maybe I should try to work Falconsat-3, just for experience. Or if someone in the Dallas area plans a contact I can tag along.
