I believe Bob meant that from Europe, they need to point their high gain beams to the west, not to the east.

I don't know what it's like down south but if it's anything like the weather at 56°N then you won't be pointing them west for very long!

On the upside my 2m vertical has a bit of an inclination tilting its radiation pattern up to the south, ideal for when the ISS goes back onto 145.825 ;-)
