Thank you, I will get on it.
BTW, I know those special signed goldenrod certificates for the other award
(50th Anniversary Communications Achievement) are probably long gone, but
is the award itself still available?

Hi Brad,

Question - On the ?CountDown? accessory, there are two buttons for sorting
the list. I prefer to select ?AOS/LOS Times?. When I select, the list
stays in the ?Ident/Letters? order.

Hi Erich. Thanks for the response.
Here is my custom list. I believe these are all Low Earth Sats..
AO-07, AO-73, AO-91, AO-92, CAS-4A, CAS-4B, IO-86, SO-50, XW-2A, XW-2B,
XW-2C, XW-2F.
I believe some may not have complete data sets....could that be causing the
failure to sort? If so, how do I identify the culprit?

Interesting....
I tried each of the pre-programmed groups to see if each would sort. The
groups are standard, FM Repeaters, Linear 1 and Linear 2.
All would sort, except for FM Repeaters. FM Repeaters would not sort for
AOS/LOS.
Sats in the FM group include SO-50, AO-85, AO-91, LILIACAST-2 (not included
in my custom list), and IO-86. Could one or more of these Sats be the
problem?

Found it. IO-86 was the problem. I removed IO-86 and the list now sorts
AOS/LOS.

Hi All,
Just saw this latest effort by SpaceX to launch the Israeli AMOS satellite
into GEO orbit.
The cost is staggering.
Maybe we should go with somehow securing transponder bandwidth on existing
GEO satellites as an alternative ?
