already have. There are no other options for me, living in Western Australia, Leo's are a complete waste of time and money, I can talk to

Hey, it's not much better on the eastern side! I've largely gone quiet on the sats for the time being, but I would like to have a crack at one of the HEO birds when they go up. U/V, I could probably manage now, though I need to sort out the uplink. S band downlink would be possible with a bit of work (been there, covered that issue). Higher bands at this stage are probably prohibitively expensive.

Now, I have the luxury of being able to plant a satellite array in the middle of the back yard! :-) Time to use it might be more of a challenge though. ;)
