All, Just listened to the 18:35Z ARISSat pass over Cincinnati. Satellite was on time but signal on both 149.950 MHz and 149.930 seemed to be much weaker than usual. How did others in Midwest and Eastern US receive? 73, Farrell Winder, W8ZCF

Hi Farrell
When the sat arise on my horizon (18:48z), it was in Emergency mode. However a minute later turn to High Power and signal look normal. It was on until 18:54z. Hopefully this wasn't the last time I heard it. HNY

It was really strong this morning (Monday) in western NC at 1534 Z; the strongest I've ever heard it (53 degree pass). I listened to two passes yesterday - 43 deg and 47 deg, 90 minutes apart - which were not nearly as strong; the latter pass was about an hour after local sunset, so the sat may have been in partial eclipse by then. (Station set-up in all 3 passes is the FT 8900R with a Comet Quad-Band mobile vertical, but the car was stationary during all those passes.)
