Yep, amazing what some altitude can do for your coverage!

Yesterday some not ham satellites were launched, classified as O3Bxx.
They have equatorial 7800 Km height orbits, with amazing coverage.
Take a look at http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm?satx=43232 and click on icon to see coverage.
Wish some day we hams could have that kind of orbit.
