Re: HELP!!!! - Major Frustration
Tim,
These sure don't match what I get out of Nova for a Cleveland observer.
Nova say you have two passes today, Tuesday. One between 15:11 and 15:25 to
the east with a max el of 29 degrees. And a second pass to the west at
16:50 to 17:04 with a max el of 31 degrees. You should easily observe a
signal between these times.
On a closer look, if your times are local, I see the second and third
passes match closely to what I reported.
