I'm not sure if I'm just really bad at aiming my antennas ior if 51 was at a bad angle but I was trying to track the 51 pass which came by my location at about 14:11 UTC and there was only one point where I think I heard it. I was looking for it in the area where I thought it might be and I caught a point in the middle of the pass when I heard a little bit of a signal quieting and I thought I heard voices bolew the noise floor and then I subsequently lost it. does anyone know if this was a bad pass or just a bad operator? -Steve VA3SAX
Hi Steve,
I was collecting telemetry during the 14:11 pass here in TN. Everything was fine on the digital side, I didn't listen to the analog side, but the TLM said that the analog power level was correct and the analog receiver was on.
