Re: [amsat-bb] ISS tracking

[Peter Hodgson <va3pkh@xxxxxx>]

Hi Mac

Are your dates OK ? 12:20 UTC was a good pass on the 13th.

I ran it in Winorbit to check. My Winorbit was OK at 12:58 UTC today and
I heard the pass on 143.625.

I believe that the "Orbital Model" option should be set to SGP4 for best
results.
