In the past we have extended invitations for regional co-ordination 
of Sunsat voice passes.  Tony Langdon, VK3JED, has compiled schedules 
for Australasia for some time now.  For regions where we have no-one 
(all except Australasia), we simply pick the highest evening pass as 
seen from some central point.  It's a shame that this does not work.  
Any volunteers?
