Last pass here was about on time per keps from both Celestrak and Nico. Nice chat with Bob, KO6TZ, but we were the only ones on the bird. Next pass non-existent from CM98, per gPredict :(
So sorry to say good bye, BY70-1. You were a great bird, with so much potential never realized. Congratulations to China Center for Aerospace Science and Technology, and my thanks to them for the opportunity to participate.

Sorry Greg & everyone; I was not knowledgeable enough to put a number on it – after the last pass I trust that everyone has been able to make their own adjustments.
For me it was in the area of a few minutes, but it was moving so fast compared to other sats that I couldn’t get much of a feel for how far off from the track I was expecting. Just not enough experience on this end.

Also, the predicted AOS from the latest Celestrak keps agrees within 6 seconds to using Nico's 19:00z set. I'm thinking it's going to be about on time, no?

How "way" ahead? Minutes? Tens? My next pass is reported to be at 19:36z (11:36am local PST). (It's the only pass gPredict reports for the future.)

For anyone planning to try the next two USA passes, please note that it was WAY ahead of the current TLE's. I had to go to manual rotor control; fortunately on the SDR display I could just slide the RX frequency over and the tracking was in the ballpark from there. -Scott, K4KDR ========================================= -----Original Message----- From: Joe Sent: Friday, February 17, 2017 12:06 PM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] BY70-1 re-entry But that image that was posted recently looked like the perigee really hasn't changed a LOT the orbit has become much more circular.
