I made numerous successful QSOs via AO27 from my Amsterdam QTH as PA3HIL. 
However, this ended six months ago when I moved to ZL. AO27 is switched on 
and off, according to a schedule, to protect the batteries. Check out 
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/intro/ao27faq.html
and http://www.amsat.org/amsat/sats/n7hpr/ao27.html

Alas, AO-27 seems always to be shut down over ZL.
