Thanks for all the help, you guys.  For what it's worth, I've gone ahead and ordered a boom mike headset for the HT (it's just too hard to work a satellite using the built-in mike and listening to the downlink) so I guess that means I'm all in!

I'll try and use the iPhone to record the passes.  I'll make sure and use language for the benefit of the recording to confirm I've worked a particular callsign.

Again, when I get there, and I'm ready to get on the air (I'll have to enter a new location into my Ham Radio Deluxe Software, into TQSL, and I'll have to break out my ancient GPS so I can figure out where the grid square lines are), I'll post something on here and, hopefully, you guys will hear me.

Thanks for the encouragement.
