[sarex] MIR SSTV above Europe ?

[Andy Thomas <70374.440@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes but it's not easy. Although on New years day Mir was sending sstv on
all its european orbits this is not usual, I have noticed that it usually
sends only on the most westerly azimuth southbound. This would have been
the northbound orbit over east coast usa.

Tomorrow I am expecting this orbit at approx 0704-07:12 at max elevation 9
degrees my qth

other orbits(for comparison)
:0043-0052,
0218--0228,
0353-0403,
0529-0538 

I shall be leaving w95sstv on auto-rx on 145.990 (doppler) FM tonight so
who knows?

stuff!
