I know that at one time there was a satellite
dxpedition gear pool that was utilized frequently.
Do we have anything like this at present??
If not, maybe we can start a fund and find a used
736 and some antennas etc. 
Anyone with spare time want to be the custodian??
I'll bet if everyone interested in satellite dx chipped in, 
we could put together a nice station.

73,
Gene
