AMSAT Freq Guide April 2019
I rely a lot on the AMSAT frequency guide, to at least double check the software (GPredict). There are several satillites listed on the April 2019 (latest guide I have) that I have no data for, TLE's or transponder. Maybe if I'd been following this list more closely I'd be up to date. They are no longer in service, or would I find them identified as something else?
My 475 CAT control worked very well on the latest pass of XW-2B, too bad I couldn't hear anyone else on the west coast.

Ron,
Which satellites don't you have data for? Some may be listed under their non-OSCAR names in GPredict.

As an example of what Paul is talking about, CAS-4B is known as: ZHUHAI-1 02 (CAS 4B).
It might not be found in the list if you were only looking for CAS-4B.

It would be really handy if the Guide would list the satellite's catalog number under the name. That's universal.

The Getting Started book lists the catalog number :-)

Yes, but the Frequency Guide sits nicely under my satellite rig, so it's always handy.

It's too big to fit in my satellite rig bag, so I hardly ever see them. I have made a portable cheatsheet that I need to reprint as mine is nearly toast.

Thank you all,
I've found most of them, and added to my active list the ones that appear to be working.
