" One interesting thing 
is that mode K (15m up, 10m down) permits over-the-horizon satellite
contacts 
by using ionospheric propagation.  A couple people even got Satellite
DXCC by 
working only RS-12."

Wayne, its intresting you should bring that up, Ive been working on 
a 21/29 transponder for the last few weeks (a ways to go yet). And
Hopefully someday i can get somebody to pack it on a sat. HF OTH
contacts
are a blast! and it is one of the easiest sats to work for a beginner.
