ditto-hang on to that L & S stuff for the next ( if, when) HEO.  In the mean time remember, "this is rocket science, and that ain't cheap"!

I feel sorry for all satellite operators that have never had the 
opportunity to try out a HEO.  I never demonstrated one from the shack, but 
during field days when I had an audience there was always a lot of 
fascination at equipment and at all you could hear. Most of the time there 
was always some DX too.
