Why are you looking into an uncertain future at a project which will, if 
ever, become realistic in several years? Why not playing with the well 
working AO-40 which is available now?
At my surprise 3 days ago when there was a window between Europe and USA 
from eastcoast to the middle west and it was daytime in USA while it was 
night in Europe, I only could hear three US stations operating the bird. 
Where have all the many other people been who are discussing satellite 
themes here on the board?
