Re: [amsat-bb] Carrier heard

["Malcolm M. Preston" <np2l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm listening close to the last heard frequency.  NOVA shows it to be 56k km
out which is an awsome distance.  I see that it should come down to perigee
this evening and still be visable here for a while.  It looks like you have
an even longer window up in Chicago.  I'll track as best I can.

I am now pointing AZ 260, EL 70 to peak it.   Definitely not AO10 which is
AZ101, EL 20.  Pointing there it is gone.  I haven't changed the rx freq for
1/2 hour - almost no pitch (doppler) change as would be expected that far
out.
