On the most recent pass of SO-50 over EM79, just minutes ago (about 0248 to about 0301), I didn't hear anybody! Max elevation was about 78 degrees so it should have been a good pass. I have had good contacts on past passes, but I have never heard nothing before today. Just wondering if I was doing something wrong, or that just happens sometimes, or was the satellite wounded by the recent solar radiation attack?

0248 UTC? EDST?
There hasn't been an SO-50 pass over the US in the past 9 hours.
Has your BB post been hung up in the system for the past 18 hours?

Rechecking my AMSAT Pass Prediction sheet, I see that did, indeed, miscalculate. Maybe I'll try again around 10:45 pm tonight. Oops. Well, at least that explains the problem! Thank you, Glenn!
