Ahhh, my apologies Drew. I should have said previously uncommon modes instead of unheard of modes. As I am relatively new to the Amateur Satellite community, I'm sure there is plenty that I am unaware of, and this is an example of that. Again, my apologies. I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out in the future.
