Bob, if I recall correctly (hopefully someone with 1st-hand knowledge will
correct me if I am mistaken) the magnet orientation is reveresed between
AO-16 and LU-19, so the receiver antenna orientation is different for the
two satellites.
South American and Carribean area QRM on the uplink is, unfortunately, a
real possibility.
