I wondered why the reliability of commanding ANDE had gone down hill...
I have been tracking the wrong object!
I am convinced that CELESTRACK has had the names of ANDE MAA and FCAL swapped. I clearly heard the difference during an overhead pass. The signals from ANDE were clearly 2 minutes ahead of where I was tracking... What I thought was ANDE MAA is actually FCAL and when I pointed at FCAL, if found strong signals on ANDE...
In otherwords, 29667 is REALLY FCAL 29664 is REALLY ANDE MAA
CELESTRACK has had them reversed in its AMATEUR satellite list.
Thanks Bob
