One Saturday I was playing around and connected my Kenwood ham rig up
to the baseband output on the satellite receiver and tuned over to one
of the Westar Birds -- and sure enough -- I was able to pick up
complete telephone conversations in session being sent over the
satellite.  This one transponder seemed to be filled with
communications from Hawaii - which I assume is common.
