Hi All,
I've made plans to travel to FN05 and FN06 tomorrow (Aug 6) and Sunday (Aug 7). Schedule is as follows:
*Saturday UTC* ---------------------------------------------------------- Day Objects AOS (U) LOS Period maxEl AZ ---------------------------------------------------------- * 06.08.2016 SO-50 18:11 18:23 12 48 329 - 131* 06.08.2016 AO-85 18:40 18:50 10 10 284 - 025 *06.08.2016 SO-50 19:52 20:03 11 21 309 - 181* 06.08.2016 AO-85 20:25 20:32 07 05 327 - 041 06.08.2016 AO-85 22:07 22:16 09 10 339 - 080 *06.08.2016 AO-85 23:47 23:59 12 41 330 - 129*
*Sunday UTC* ---------------------------------------------------------- Day Objects AOS (U) LOS Period maxEl AZ ---------------------------------------------------------- *07.08.2016 AO-85 01:28 01:38 10 21 312 - 182* 07.08.2016 SO-50 08:28 08:38 10 11 154 - 053 *07.08.2016 SO-50 10:06 10:19 13 81 211 - 036** ** 07.08.2016 SO-50 11:48 11:59 11 19 262 - 027* 07.08.2016 SO-50 13:32 13:40 08 06 308 - 032 07.08.2016 AO-85 14:04 14:14 10 11 152 - 054 07.08.2016 SO-50 15:15 15:23 08 06 333 - 057 *07.08.2016 AO-85 15:42 15:56 14 75 209 - 036*
I plan to be on for the passes shown above in Bold text, and won't rule out the others.
I don't yet know where I will be for any given pass. Most likely the fist 1 or 2 passes on Saturday and the last pass on Sunday will be from FN05 and the others will be from FN06.
*About the AO-85 passes**:* My HT's output isn't sufficient to get into the satellite reliably. Instead, I will be bringing my KX3 + 70cm transverter and try operating semi-duplex. I'm not sure if the KX3 will operate cross-band split. If not then I'll leave it at home and try harder to hit more of the SO-50 passes on Sunday.
Let's have some fun!
