Howdy All,

Sheesh...I'm always the last to hear. Didn't see anything on APRS-IS.
Sixty-something degree pass tomorrow morning (see attached)...

73,

No, I am the last to hear. That is becoming one annoying satellite.
So, it looks like the boss wants to try another transmitter site with
lots of power to try talking to the satellite. trying to come up with
some theories. In past history of satellites, did some shift from
their intended frequency once in orbit and if so, generally which
direction. I'm wondering if the Castor receiver shifted frequency and
is not responding because we are off a few KHz.

Now, I really have to fix my ground station. Last wind storm messed up
my 15 foot 2m yagi. It points down all the time. I need to add a
counter balance.

Oh by the way, I am finally mailing patches and cards. I sent 5 out
this week. I am trying to allocate a half hour in the morning to
filling envelopes.
