Jan,
Hi Craig,
I was a lucky this morning 10:48 UTC I worked K9HF, it was short but it is in the Log :)) via AO-7
I and a regular group of operators in the western US are regularly on V0-52, FO-29 and AO-7, down to very low elevations. But I would ask the same question as you. I have a fairly good signal into these sats and have never even heard any stations outside of Canada, US or Mexico. That is frustrating when you look at what the footprint of these sats can hit.
Perhaps it is an idea to make appointments with date and time.
I've tried to use the dx-cluster, but that was also unsuccessful.
Maybe the use of a website that will help the Sat operators in making apointments for QSO's with other continents. Combine SAT data with a Calendar function ?
