Yes,  I have as EL2CA in 1980 in West Africa, I used it to copy and send 
signals to Oscar ??
I had good copy with the few stations that were on sats at that 
time.  Talked to Spain and France.
and some other African stations.

I also talk to my next door neighber about 100 yards away via the sats.  We 
thought that was the best
contact.
