Paul, If you look at the webpage www.ao27.org you will find the schedule of the satellite. It has exact timings for when the satellite is on. Presently, according to the site, it is in the "OFF" mode. Check their sched often since it does change often. 73, Dee, NB2F NJ AMSAT Coordinator

Message: AO-27 flew right over today, almost on top of our house in DM79 around 20:45...barely heard our signal crack the SQL....is the bird having any recent probelems? We heard just a bit of the noise drop when very very close and that is when we thought we could hear our voice but not 100% sure- are we off on the split?

i have also found that passes that are directly overhead are the worst to try and copy because of the mismatch in antenna polarity. horizon shots are slam dunk but overhead are virtually invisible (or deaf to my antennas). you would think because they are closest to you and directly overhead that you are good to go but this is not the case.

Paul,
Just my $0.02....
I've noticed the scheduled time can be slightly off.. last time I listened it went off air a full 8-10 minutes before it was due to.
