I double checked the predicted pass of FO-29 and found that F0-29 is above

Northern Central Russia at 02:35Z. Footprint touching San Diego about 02:52Z

and CONUS fully illuminated at 09:52Z.

Is there something wrong with my SatPC32 prediction? I used current Keps.

Please advise and thanks in advance!

Any body within fo-29 shot of San Diego, CA??

I have a pass here beginning ~ 0235Z 17jan10....

It is about 3 orbits after Mineo's predicted turn on time, but I'm going to give it a shot....

Leo, Art, Allen,????

I really deplore using this media to make a ham contact, as has been done to death here, but guess that's the way it is until ESA comes up with something...

Hope everyone is sending them a few bucks now and then...

Hi Dave,

If I get home from work in time, I'll work you. :) I always listen for you on the linear transponders, but we must be on at odd times. I think the last time we worked was in a round table on AO-40. Be neat to hear you again.
