FM sats attract a few, but once you get \noutside of the major countries (i.e. VK, ZL), finding anyone with \n70cm gear gets very difficult.  On the linear birds, I did have some \nsuccess on FO-29 once at a hamfest satellite demo (I don't have the \ngear to do U band myself, unfortunately, as I know there are some \nlocals on VO-52).  On RS-12/13, the only QSOs I had were pre-arranged \nwith locals on 2m before the pass.  Obviously, a HEO is of more \ninterest in these parts, given that it's thousands of miles to any \nother country with significant satellite activity.  Excercise, grab a \nglobe of the Earth, draw a circle 6000km radius, centred on Melbourne \nand note the countries inside the circle.  For satellites with 2m \nuplinks, exclude anywhere that can only be reached when Indonesia is \nin the footprint.  And note that very few of the Pacific island \nnations have any 70cm gear on them, so they'd be relying on satellite \nDXpeditions to activate them.  Count the remainder... ;)  (Note, the \nproblem with Indonesia is a population in the hundreds of millions \nand a high level of long range cordless phone usage - UO-14 was a \ndogpile of phone calls whenever Indonesia was in the footprint).\n\nBack in the early 90's, I did have a bit of fun on RS-10/11 using a \njury rigged setup. :)\n\nSo far, my experiences have been:\n\nRS-10/11 - Some VK activity, I miss this bird, it was a lot of fun.\n\nRS-12/13 - Some pre-arranged QSOs, didn't seem quite as sensitive as \n10/11.  Some Asian QRM noted in latter years, but could fit QSOs in between.\n\nSO-35 - a LOT of VK/ZL activity, with some P29.  Another bird I \nreally miss, this was a very fun one to work, and could be reached by \na HT in unusual situations (Sat QSO from a train anyone? - Yes, I've \ndone that MANY time! ;) ).\n\nUO-14 - some VK/ZL/P29 activity, 3D2 reported by others.  Performance \nlimited by Asian QRM on the uplink and lack of receive sensitivity of \nnew stations.\n\nAO-51 - Some VK/ZL activity, issues similar to UO-14\n\nSO-50 - I haven't worked anyone on it, though have tried a few passes.\n\nFO-20/29 - One or two VK QSOs at hamfest demos.\n\nVO-52 - Haven't worked, due to lack of U band SSB gear (and no \nhamfest demos in recent years).  U/V operation holds promise, and I \nknow of several regular users in this region.\n\nAO-7 - Another one I haven't tried, since its resurrection.\n\n73 de VK3JED\nhttp://vkradio.com\n\n",
