Yes, there's a chance, but it's hard work. I wrote some notes up on a
simliar configuration (FT-847 barefoot + Arrow)
http://www.g6lvb.com/LX%20and%203A%20ops.htm . You'll need a perigee pass
during daylight for AO-10 to perform with that configuration.

FO-20 and FO-29, as others have said, will be the _real_ 'easy sats' on
Field Day.
