A nice strong pass over NH around 1500z. Many telemetry frames decoded and
forwarded. The little guy is still going strong! Oddly, the doppler
predictions seemed to be pretty close today even at its highest point when
the frequency changes most rapidly. Is there low solar activity or
something?
Anyway, I have notced pretty high temps in a few places, for example the
IHU temp has been in the 60s. RF was in the 70s once, I think. The solar
cells are high, but that's not surprising anyway with the sun shining on
them.
Hoping for another pass around 2115z.
Burns, W2BFJ

anyone care to make predictions on re entry? or anyplace someone can see
current locations? it is incredibly clear and cold here, it would be
neat if we could actually watch her come in.

Hello Everyone,
Here is one "Satellite Short" which would be too late if we waited for the
weekend ANS news cycle:
+ The annual Quadrantid meteor shower will peak on January 4. Fore-
casters expect the shower to peak around 07:20 UT (02:20 am EST)
on Wednesday morning, January 4. At maximum, as many as 100 meteors
per hour could emerge from a radiant near Polaris, the north star.
You can listen to the meteor pings on-line. The meteor echoes from
the Air Force Space Surveillance Radar in Texas detects a meteor or
satellite as it passes over the facility. Follow the link at:

Hi all,
I'm looking for one of the 60cm G3RUH dishes, with or without the patch
feed. Maybe someone who was active on AO-40, but not on the LEOs?
Email me if you can help.

All,
Report that 1st part of 16:34Z pass covering Cincinnati was strong. A
couple of minutes later noted some erratic behavior on trying to receive own
transmitted CW, then return signal became weak. Did hear some good CW
"dots" but no call letters followed. Try next pass at 18:08 Z I will be
correcting for doppler to receive my signal on 145.930. Will listen for
any stations CW or USB.

Hello everybody:
This is David EA4SG.
Just a moment ago at 16:54 UTC while the Arissat-1 was over the vertical
of Madrid, I was listening to the SAT and it stopped/interrumped
suddenly its transmissions while it was still in a theorical "sunny or
iluminated area". Not sure if it was the final re-entry but It could be.
So I decided to leave this info here. The last sent voice message sent
was the italian one and at the end of the secret word, it stopped.
A moment before, I was able to record around 40 seconds of CW telemetry
in 145.919 Khz but very poor signal/noise rate.

Yep,
It just takes a little dedication. I was operating VERY
casually this year mostly only on Ao-27 and a little on SO-50.
The result for 2011 is:
470 QSOs, 41 states, 175 grids.
Keep trying, folks!
And good work Clayton!

John, K6YK

Current pass (like RIGHT NOW - 10:03AM PST) was three minutes "ahead" of
AMSAT-NA's Keplerian data.
But I couldn't have asked for better reception ... Temps were 42C and 41C ...

All,
Copied beacon for pass at around 1800Z. Copied W8ZCF on cw through
transponder at 18:10Z at about 3 deg elevation. Voice beacon also observed
briefly.

Hi David
I heard that pass, and it seemed to be in low power mode, so on for 30
seconds and then off.
It should be around for a few hours more.
Thanks

Just to make sure I'm on schedual.? I see the next pass at about 1933Z at
CN87 with a elevation of about 76 degrees.? I realize the keps on this thing
can change by the minute.
