RS12/13 had 15m and 2m uplink, downlink on 10m

Great and easy satellite to work.
Was the first satellite i worked on, buy i miss it.

I dont recall any birds with a 10m uplink.

RS12/13 had mode KT which was a 15m uplink on RS12 linked over
to a 2m downlink on RS13.  It was very fun and very very easy to work
a whip and a few watts was enough to get into the bird and a rubber
duck was enough to hear the downlink. I once worked it with a loaded
whip for 15m and a rubber duck both attached directly to the back
of the ft847 in my bedroom and had a qso almost the whole pass.
