Your absolutely correct Dave. I missed the fact that the U.S. Naval Observatory page was giving me local time instead of UTC that I was thinking. Damn, now I better get the coffee pot ready. Looks like it will be a late night. To keep this post in line with satellites, if this experiment proves successful does it mean it's possible we could have a bird circling the moon with say a mode K transponder ? :-))

Thanks for the correction Dave... Keith

Some real DX signals to listen out for on 6.7925 MHz and 7.4075 MHz. Note one part of the text says Jan 18/19th but when times are specified the 19th and 20th are given. Could there be a typo here ? anyone know ?
