The reason I askd that was the last time I tried to correlate passes in UTC over Japan for the turn on, those times didn’t seem to line up right. Maybe I was looking at something wrong or I had bad keps loaded.

https://falconapk.com/crime-city/ We know the fact that everyone’s a big fan of Mafia Wars, gangster wars, and street wars kind of games. It’s an exciting adventure to become a gangster and fight other criminals to build your own empire. Decca-games bring such another Role play game named Crime City MOD APK. As the name suggests this game is based on gangster wars, street crimes, police chases, and escaping which is an exciting and thrilling gaming experience.
This game is based upon street robbery where you are supposed to use tricks and wisdom to escape the police and become the most wanted gangster in the area. Besides police, you will be facing other gangsters, vehicles, weapons attacks, and much more that contain thrilling gaming experiences. In Crime City MOD APK, The rate of crimes will earn you more cash that can help you build your own empire. Further, in Crime City as a gangster, you can make your own crime empire by defeating all your opponents.
Crime city is one of the most challenging and skill-requiring games where your skills of driving and escaping will be tested. Additionally, players can make the most of diverse weapons; explore new areas with the help of maps available within the game. Players will be allowed to complete challenging and exciting more than 30 missions that keep making the game more engaging and fun-packed.
My two cents. When I joined AMSAT two years ago, I received several
written materials about best operating practices (even though, as I
discovered, information was out of date and not being practiced any
longer). One was: CW below the center of the bandpass, SSB above it, on
linear satellites. I quickly discovered, however, SSB stations were
operating both below and above center, and CW stations, while generally
below center, sometimes could be heard above it. Is a return to the future
appropriate? That is, CW and SSB where they supposedly existed once upon a
time? For the past 18 months, as a CW guy 75% of the time, I start calling
CQ or listening for CW activity beginning about 5 kHz below center and
drift down in frequency during a pass (not having Doppler software). But
I'm not sure if even that much space is needed for CW ops, especially given
that activity on satellites seems to be about 3/4 SSB and 1/4 CW. I'd be
happy to see just the bottom 5-10 kHz of any bandpass reserved for CW, if
some sort of band plan is adopted and comes into general use. That also
would get me off my butt and finally install Doppler software. I'd also
love to see "CW activity days," scheduled on a regular basis, for example
the first Saturday of every month, but that just may be my pipe dream.
Also, the AMSAT material that I received two years ago contemplated "The
One True Rule," which seems to have disappeared unless I'm not seeing it on
the air. Another return to the future? That is, holding a receive
frequency and nudging transmit frequency around? Of course, that does not
solve the problem of stations drifting through the receive frequency that
you're keeping constant, which happens now.
Constantly adjusting power downward is a good operating practice that
definitely needs emphasis. I've discovered, while operating, that I've
often needed to reduce power a lot more often than tinkering with tuning
manually. And yes, CW ops should be encouraged to use SSB filtering, not
CW filtering, on receive. Great idea. You'll be able to take quick action
to avoid QRM'ing others. Also, I don't know how many juicy DX stations
I've worked (48 entities now) because they were a little off frequency--and
I still heard them with the SSB filter on, but I never would have if I had
used a CW filter.
Finally, re digital modes: I'm not a fan, but if allowed on linear
satellites, educating ops to reduce power to a minimum is critically
important, so as not to QRM CW and SSB stations elsewhere in the bandpass.
Digital modes limited to a certain swatch of the bandpass, if a band plan
is adopted? Say the uppermost 5-10 kHz?
All this said, I find that the vast majority of ops, 90-95%, are very
courteous on the air and make use of best operating practices. I don't
feel soured in any way, operating CW and SAT on linear satellites. It's
still a magical experience for this OT, who started in 1957 with a Heathkit
AT-1 and Hallicrafter S-38D receiver.

Special Event station on Satellite
There are two radio clubes hosting the event. NW2C and W2GSB.
On 9/11/2021 from 10 am EST to 8 pm EST. We will be operating a special
event station W2T. We will be on as many satellites as we can. We will also
be on SSB,CW, and digital modes.
Watch the DX cluster for band and frequencies.
We will be operating from Fort Totten Park/ Army base. Queens NY
Please visit the QRZ page W2T after the event to get the certificate.
Please pass the information on to your radio club and other hams

Q. Do you publish a recording of your satellite presentation?
A. There are a few videos of my presentation out there ... on convention or club sites. But there's a couple of reasons I do not publish one myself …
1. Each of my shows is very-much-personalized for its audience. There are 15-19 "sldes" that are audience-specific that get changed. It would just be weird to have you listen to club-specific information for someone else's club!
2. Like books on many topics, once they are published, they are outdated. And so are these satellite presentations. Timely information I give tonight regarding ISS operations and "current status" of some satellites will change and might NOT be current next week - as life goes on.
SO ... As you cruise the 'Net for satellite information, make sure the sites you bookmark respect you enough to DATE THEIR INFORMATION! A Scout leader called me up a couple years ago after a Field Day, and was irritated that he was not able to work AO-51 for his large gathering. He had cruised the 'Net and found "Easy Sats to Work!" info for AO-51 - and set up his equipment for AO-51. Well, AO-51 passed away / ceased operating 11/29/2011. But that Web site he used didn't tell its visitors that: It was a OLD article, current when it was originally published …

You seem to be blaming the chaos on FM sats on Clint and/or his
presentations. That is just bizarre thinking. Clint can not possibly
be responsible for the behavior of everyone on the FM sats. Even if
Clint gave his presentation to everyone that has ever used an FM sat,
he is still not responsible for the operator's behavior. Maybe you
want to volunteer to give "better" presentations that will cure all of
our ills. Here's your two cents back. Keep it. Steve AI9IN

Brad,
1 - The chaos and mayhem on the FM SATS continues unabated.
2 - Because of Clint's Presentations, new users are added and proper
operating procedure are often not followed.
3 - That brings into question whether the Presentations are adequate
and/or need tweaking or more emphasis.
4 - Suggestions from experienced/active AMSAT Members are rejected
and/or ignored out-of-hand and appear to be unwelcome.
Those are my two cents.
