Hi all, I'm just wondering if the early morning North American passes of AO-51 are still eclipsed or in sunlight. I understand that we should not try using it when it is in eclipse. My software prediction is not all that good. 73 de Doug KA8QCU portable in EN56

Hi Doug,
Thank you for asking.
AO-51 is in the sun during all passes over North America. So feel free to use it!
