Re: [amsat-bb] SO-41

[Emily Clarke <w0eec@xxxxxxxxx>]

My understanding is that SO-41 is on a timer that is not functioning 
properly, however this is not official status from the control station.  So 
it may not be correct.  I can only tell you that I worked it a few times 
during September but nothing since.

With respect to the day/night thing my response was not the best - I really 
liked Drew K04MA's explanation better.  I was really looking at it in a 2 
dimensional model (which is the view I use to track LEOs) but its really a 
3D question.  So I believe Drew's method is most likely the correct way to 
look at it.
