Aloha
(Gokigen ikaga desuka?)
I am not up to speed with the new satellites however I was able to copy portions of transmissions from two birds this evening. My QTH is Honolulu. My rig; A Yaesu VX-7R with Arrow antenna. I used the keps given for PRISM and they seemed accurate as the first signal came in as predicted at 1131Z (1/23/09) Max. elev. for both satellites approx. 30 deg. W.
Satellite 1 (PRISM?):

Not much to go on but I think two Satellites are alive and doing well.
I suffered polarity problems with both satellites but I am sure things will get better!!
Best to track one at a time!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL And Congratuations to all the TEAMS involved in making this happen.
