No. That pesky ol' Earth is in the way. :)

From Orlando, the farthest east you can see on the Clarke Belt is about 2 degrees west. The farthest east satellite with a beam pointed back at you would be Atlantic Bird 3 at 5 degrees west. Your elevation on that one would be only about 3 degrees.:eek2:
