Hey Allen,
I live on the 33rd parallel as well in Plano
Texas (a suburb north of Dallas TX) and there is also
the Lake Kickapoo site west of where I live. I wonder
if you couldn't take a ham radio receiver and pick up
the bounced signal off satellites from the comfort of
you home - even during the day. It looks like others
have done similar things:

I wonder how you would do this; interferometric
(several antennas in orthogonal axis - all tuned to
216.99 MHz?) or would you need to know the time the
signal was sent to make any kind of sense (coherence).
*If you could do this* you could have you're own TLE's
for any sat at inclination of 33 degrees or higher!
