Re: [amsat-bb] PCSAT2 PSK-31 test Saturday Morning! (USA)

["George Henry" <ka3hsw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's probably below the horizon for you when Bob switches it into PSK 
mode...  at 1540Z, I show that California was out of the footprint.  He said 
it would be for about 5 minutes in the middle of the pass (I presume he 
meant the middle for him, on the east coast), which I assume was right at 
1225, 1405, and 1540Z.   So those are the "on" times I am shooting for.
