Hi Graham,

Great to hear of your expedition to our corner of the globe.

I've taken the liberty of forwarding your message to the AMSAT-VK group 
(239 members and growing ) who are very active on those satellites in Oz

You can find us here....

I'll be listening out for you as I'm sure will be others.

regards

Tim
