Re: [amsat-bb] OSCAR 10 Observations?

[K5OE@xxxxxxx]

Tony,
In the last week I have been "playing" with the perigee passes when they are 
open to Europe from STX (usually early in the AM here), and have been able to 
work stations in France, Poland, UK, and Russia with ease.  Using small 
antennas and 100 W, I have had signals as strong as 58 and reports as good as 
57.  Last night, however, the bird was over South America for about 30 
minutes at under 7,000 km and there wasn't a single station to be heard (I 
was about as far north as the bird went). 
73,
Jerry, K5OE
