Since we are talking about beginner birds Techs (ie, beginners?) can't work 
21/29.  So it might be easy to work, but it wouldn't be a beginner 
bird.  Also, there is no bandwidth allocated in any bandplan I could find 
for a 15/17m satellite uplink, so that is something else you would have to 
overcome.
