[amsat-bb] clipperton on ao-10

["Bruce Paige" <kk5do@xxxxxxxxx>]

fo0aaa was on ao-10 for just 2-3 contacts (about 0140z) and then the 
satellite went to sleep. i heard ao-10 real good from perigee for about 40 
minutes. i got on 15m and asked the op to tell their satellite op to come on 
ao-10. he said he was working on it. so he did make it and there are a 
couple of happy campers. i was not one of them. but never know, the 
satellite might come back and we might still make it.
