10 Meter OSCAR satilites?

[T23]

Are there any OSCAR satellites for 10 Meters?

Check for satellite status here AMSAT - Satellite Status

but I don't think there are any 10m satellites still in service. The old Radiosport RS-12 and RS-13 had a 2m uplink and a 10m downlink but are no longer operational.

AO-7 is semi-operational in mode A which is 2m up and 10m down and that's about it.

The Captain is right. I miss the days of the old birds.
And since AO-7 is a non controled craft, you never know when it will be in the mode.

Yeah, I was doing some research and apparently none are operational on 10 meters, hopefully someone will plan to put one in orbit, maby in the next decade or so?

Wouldn't that be nice. Back in that day I ran a Yaesu FT 221r and a Kenwood 520. I later bought a KLM Multi 2700. Man that was a fine Rig for 10/2 meter birds. My shack was hit by lightning and fried the rig. I bought a non working unit to repair it but never got around to it.
