RE: [amsat-bb] Echo Status 11 Mar

Hi Emily,

It was good to hear you on the birds tonight.

I'm pretty sure that I updated the keps a week or so ago, and not much 
changed when I did.  And, I don't think the SO-50 pass just before AO-51 was 
off by that much, although it was a much lower elevation pass (less 
doppler).

But, let me scrub things on this end, and see what happens on another pass.

Thanks for the feedback,

Greg  KO6TH

Hi Greg,

It was on frequency for me.  Perhaps your keps were a bit old?  There has 
been a lot of that going on with the change over to SpaceTrack.  If you are 
used to getting your keps from a celestrak download you might need to change 
over.

73,

Emily
