Hi All,
The transponder was not turn on correctly, there is only the beacon now, we will try again at 0255UTC, if OK, the transponder will keep operation for full circle from 0255UTC to 0500UTC.

Unfortunately no beacon and no transponder heard on the 0420z pass here.

Nothing heard on the 2043z 20th Jan pass over the UK either, despite it being a long and high 20 minute pass. Would have been great to road test my Gnuradio SDR CW receiver as webb, but next time :)
-May- have spotted something on the waterfall like it's CW beacon, but very very weak, where as last night it was very very strong with me.
I don't think it was unless it was extremley week, didnt even show up until well after 45 degrees elevation, where as last night, I could spot the beacon from AOS to LOS
Did have to realign the antennas earlier, but AO-51 popped up at the right time, in the right place with two passes earlier, so I think they are close enough
