[amsat-bb] AO-27 on a HT. How realistic?

["Ciemon G0TRT" <g0trt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

	After a lot of reading and listening on the SIG I'm getting closer to
working a bird for real, not just bouncing APRS packets off Mir.

	I reckon AO-27 has got to be a good start point, mainly because I'm not
going to have to buy anything expensive to work it. So if I get myself an
Arrow antenna and use my TH-D7 am I really going to be able to work through
it?

	Please remember I'm in the UK, it was always a battle getting one UI frame
into Mir, is it realistic to expect to work AO-27 with 5w and an Arrow with
so many potential big guns just over "the river" in Europe?
