Thnx Kenneth-
I'll post my prediction chart again here for S.Central AK---
Here is what I see for BP51 passes- (Six more passes at +1 elev or more)
For AOS+ max elevation (bp51cf) I show: monday +3 max elev aos: 0710AK tues +5 0117AK tues +12 0250AK tues +13 0425AK tues +6 0600AK wed +1 0009AK wed +9 0141AK Initial xsmsn ending Wednesday at 0230 AK local. So maybe a shot for the guys that want to try at 0250 or 0425 AK local tomorrow.. at max elev-ISS in southern sky. Will see what we can get...

ARISSat-1 should be active until April 13 at 10:30 UTC. You get a shot at it on April 12.

Hey guys-
Please see the attached ISS quick-pass list.
According to the latest bulletin, the timed transmissions are from (BP51- AOS) 0710 AK Monday to (BP51-AOS) 0141 AK Wednesday..
If I'm reading this right, there are seven passes during this period.. BP51 local pass times are 0710,0250, 0425. 0600 etc..
Max elevations are 3, 5, 12,13,6,1, 9 degrees etc..
Looks like an early morning challenge. Yow
Dale, am I on the right page? Are you going to attempt some of these sigs just above the horizon?
Initial transmission downlinks: 145.95 FM voice,telem,robot 36,bpsk. 145.939 cw-1, 145.919 cw-2.
I'd like to make recordings and send to KA2UPW/5, but not sure if I'll be awake. hi
