Hi Stefan,

It is a shame that the Europe trip could not be realized,

Would have loved to do a QSO with you.

VE4SW Hi Stefan.
Have you seen the footprint of QO-100 near Newfoundland? Could be worth a drive!

Thanks David,

its only ~5000km (one way) with no guarantee of success. Not aware of anyone successfully hitting the satellite from St. Johns etc.

Oh dear. So much for my Geography Stefan. 5000km is rather more than I imagined.
Looking at the footprint, it's about 70km or so out to sea. But I think the cliffs at St Johns are very high.
It may be possible on 2.4G, but I know when I point my LNB towards the ground the noise on 10G increases substantially.
Perhaps leave that test to one of the locals. I know there is someone there who chases all the transatlantic possibilities on LEO Sats.
Merry Christmas + HNY
David
