Reception of AO91 passing over AO91
by Mac A. Cody 19 Nov '17

Just wanted to report that I heard AO91, starting at a bit after 1920z, as it passed over EM12 (Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas metroplex). The signal was loud and clear. Veronica is still announcing that RadFxSat (Fox-1B) is in 'safe mode'. Congratulations on the successful launch and deployment! Looking forward to working AO91! 73, Mac Cody / AE5PH

Celestrak now has four objects from today's launch in their catalog. 2017-073C (Object 43015) tracked Doppler perfectly during the last pass over North America, but the identification of the various objects is subject to change as they separate. 2017-073C 1 43015U 17073C 17322.62015174 -.00000076 00000-0 00000+0 0 9995 2 43015 97.6873 257.7630 0258702 236.7177 305.5679 14.77570475 37 https://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/tle-new.txt 73, Paul, N8HM

Hi All, FUNcube-1 is now operating in autonomous mode so when in the sun we have full power telemetry and when in eclipse we have the transponder operating with the telemetry in low power. This Tuesday will be FUNcube-1’s fourth birthday in space so please celebrate with us then. 73 Graham

All, Here’s a map of US military satellites, aka FLTSAT (I think). These are geostationary and above the equator.

Those just won’t be 180 and 90, and the satellite won’t be “directly” above you. Sent from my Windows 10 phone

Hi JP, May be GSP is an alternative to have a geostationary device over your location PF95GD. Was publicized on the 2013 TAPR/ARRL Digital Conference papers: https://www.tapr.org/pdf/DCC2013-CAB-LU7ABF.pdf 73, lu7abf, Pedro
