It looks like a "C" band or other band transmitter, could have been for an uplink of data back to the satellite.

I can see the letters TWC on it, but it's blurry when I zoom in.

just found more info and you are correct. . .is for up links.

It would make a nice private band modulator, all you need is an IF at 950 to 1500 MHz with your programming on it, but don't get caught as the up-link frequency's that the thing TX's on are monitored.

You can also use a high frequency secondary IF and get into the "Ku" band, one the 5 GHz is modulated you can mix it with another frequency and get a different one.

Say that you have that one set on a 6 GHz output, mixing it with a second frequency at 6.225 GHz would get you a frequency of 12.224 GHz. (that one look familiar?)
