Copied one beacon for practice, a real skimmer at only 4 degrees max elevation:

All,

United States Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) has identified predicted close approach between COMPASS-1 (#32787) and SICH-1 (#23657).

Jan 22 14:27 UTC - predicted distance: 429 m (overall)

Can someone listen to the COMPASS-1 beacon (437.275 MHz CW) after this time, please? It’s the first US East-Coast pass on this day. Any reports are very appreciated.

Thanks in advance! 73, Mike DK3WN
