BY70-1 Last Chance Western USA
If the estimate that BY70-1 will decay tomorrow 17 Feb 2017 between 2 & 8PM PST. The last chance to work the satellite may be tonight. Can't predict at what temperature the transmitter will stop working.
For Western USA, The last workable pass maybe tonight around 10PM_PST 16 Feb 2017.
I plan on being around. Die_hard Satellite users welcome ... (pun intended)

Yeah, could be. I asked gPredict for the next 10 passes, and it only gave me 3!
Last one listed is 11:44am tomorrow, but only a 1 degree pass. There's also an 11:32pm PST pass tonight (5 degrees).
Any bets?

Looks like the latest keps from Celestrak have moved the next AOS up a few minutes. Now 9:58pm PST in CM98.

Ack! First 2/3 of the pass my downlink was mis-programmed. Sorry if I QRM'd anyone.
W5SAT got in the log; I also heard VE4AMU and a YL KD6-something (you were clear, but there was a short drop-out over your call suffix). Then it was over.
Will try again at 11:37pm tonight.
