I loaded the pre-launch keps for LAPAN-A2 that were provided here: http://www.amsat.org/?p=4571
Using the SatPC32 Tracking, Preview menus, I was in the footprint on a couple of passes. The max elevation was less than one degree on one pass and less then two degrees on the other. I am located at 33.323 N latitude. When they revise those keps, if the inclination turns out to be higher than was indicated in the preliminary keps, there is a chance that I may be able to use that satellite, especially since it is running 5 watts.
