Based on the economics, those of us with aspirations of having a HEO in the 
near future might be better off
upgrading our set-ups for the high-reliability _passive_ HEO that is 
available (aka EME).

With absolutely no intent at sarcasm, any pointers to articles on how to 
take a HEO-class station up to EME-capable?

Are "small station-small station" QSO's possible on EME, or does at least 
one station have to look like W5UN or Arecibo? (ok, maybe a little sarcasm)
