Kent,
I was on this morning for the pass you noted and made 3 contacts around 1350 UTC, there was plenty of activity and the signal from the bird was strong. So if you were listening at 435.3 mhz, plus or minus 10 for the doppler, and if your clock was correct, something must be wrong somewhere. Your antenna is not blocked by trees or anything, is it? And you are hearing local 70cm repeaters with no problem?

OOPS!!
I listed the pass prediction for ISS, not AO-51. Here is the correct AMSAT Online Satellite Pass Prediction for AO-51 this morning: 29 Feb 08 13:58:51 00:13:47 20 44 110 179 14:12:38
I was trying to listen to both. I wanted to see if I could hear the ISS APRS digipeater. AO-51 was tuned on one band and ISS on the other. Nothing but noise from either. I'll concentrate on AO-51 now until I get a better understanding of what is going on.
