And passing by FO-29 WI2W and  me  two of us on the whole pass and AO-51 with 4 stations and great signal from the S-band TX 
with nearly no fades!! don't know if they switched to HI power but since the beginning of this S/V week i don't get the 
usual hi fades?.

Don't get me wrong i don't say they will replace any HEO but in the mean time i can amortized my former AO-40 setup:) 
Speaking of AO-51 i don't know if L/S phone mode is possible? i see L band is used for digital stuff.

See you on the birds!
