	Well, let's see -- I'm a ham operator with an interest in working
satelites, and I thought it would also be interesting to hear about _seeing_
them, too.  I live in eastern New Mexico, and have seen satelites pass over
from time to time, usually when it gets dark down here and is still bright up
there.  (Naturally!)
	As I'm basically a beginner with satelites, I'll do my best to stay
quiet on the list.  However, as a ham operator, I have a habit of speaking up
frequently.  I'll try not to make too much noise here.  8-)
