Good day all,
Some time ago I read a very interesting posting or article by someone who had performed some analysis on elevation angles for satellite passes grouping them into degree ranges and percentages of passes. I recall it was a way of showing that most passes will occur within certain elevation ranges.
For the life of me I cannot who it was who had done this analysis or where I saw it and I just don't seem to able to ask google the right question to find it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
cheers, Graham ve3gtc

Graham,
You aren't by any chance thinking about my article in the AMSAT Journal entitled "Determining the Most Common Satellites Azimuth from your QTH" are you? That would have been probably in the Jan/Feb or Mar/Apr 2017 volume,

Hmm, might have been if it was online somewhere as I don't get the AMSAT journal.
