The central USA pass was much like the eastern pass. Signals from the satellite were very strong. Audio was very loud, even on the wideband rx setting on the TS2000. Audio cut off after a few seconds of transmission was prevalent. It seems that it took several seconds for the audio to come back when this happened. Lots of stations on the bird including KC8ZFN, KD8CAO, WB8OTH, WC7V, WA4NVM, KB1RVT, WA4SCA, KB0RZD, N5AFV, WD9EWK, N5UXT, WB2IOL, KF9L, AA5PK and others. The bird went over the horizon before it turned off.

The next Western USA pass is not visible in Cleveland.
