A method and apparatus for making a call connection in a communication system (10) having multiple communication units (26) (CU), and at least one communication antenna (12) that moves with respect to the multiple CUs (26). The method involves determining (154) whether a first call attempt from a source CU (26) to a target CU (50) is successful. When the first call attempt is not successful, a control facility (24) predicts (186) when one of the communication antenna (12) will move within an optimal call initiation area (124), within which there is a high likelihood of being able to establish a communication link with the target CU (50). The time when the communication antenna (12) will move within the optimal call initiation area (124) is sent (160) to the source CU (26) so that the source CU (26) may make a second call attempt (162) at that time.
