Here in the United States, the Powerball lottery drawing is now up to $1.2 BILLION USD. I bought a "quick pick" letting the computer decide my numbers earlier today. If I become a billionaire (until the tax man comes at me), the western hemisphere is getting it's own geosynchronous satellite for amateur use only!!

It is understandable that amateur radio operators in North America are disappointed that they cannot experience the fun of using QO100. However, although the footprint charts that have been published show that it is not possible, there have been good reports recently about the successful QO-100 expedition in Indonesia. In particular YC1HVZ/P successfully operated through the QO100 narrow band transponder from OI42DE at -1.2 degrees elevation!
