I will try to do the same. I have a borrowed computer here for the time being, so don't have all my usual software complement installed, but will cobble something together.

Mike (& All),

Since I will be at work before the 1427z pass time tomorrow, I will setup my station to track and record this pass from Michigan and report my findings as soon as I am able to review.

Thanks for the heads up.

It’s the first US East-Coast pass on this day. Any reports are

All,

As already indicated by Matt N8MS, signals from COMPASS-1 were present during the 22-JAN-2010 1431z pass over Eastern USA. I decoded the following packets from audio recorded during the pass earlier this morning:

Hi Mike,

14:32 utc on Jan 22, 2010 we copied the beacon from Sister Lakes Elementary school in Southwest Michigan (EN62). We had a maximum elevation of 10.5°.

My third grade students were excited to listen today to see if Compass-1 survived. The boys and girls let out a cheer when we heard the beacon!
