Hi all,

I sent a note a few weeks ago about a trip to Kauai and the potential for satellite contacts. It was pretty comical, the only chance I had to actually hit a pass was one where a satellite went directly overhead. I ran out, got full quieting, was all kinds of excited, and .. well.. I was the only guy in the footprint :-)

I'm heading to Seychelles tomorrow (LI75RJ, out in the indian ocean) for an 8 day trip and bringing my HT and Arrow2. Am I being overly hopeful that I'll have anyone to talk to if I can catch few passes? I'm a new ham and new to satellite contacts so just not sure if it's worth the trouble to try. ??

thanks Matt NM6W (S79RC from 31Oct-8Nov)
