Re: [amsat-bb] AO10 now?

[Cliff Buttschardt <cbuttsch@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry's observations were most timely as I was unaware of his efforts
as he must be of mine.  I have been trying daily at about 02 to 05 UTC
listening on 145.905 for any kind of return AO-10 signal.  The coverage
at that time is simply fabulous!  All of the Pacific is available.  By
midnight Pacific time, Calcutta is just coming into view.  Let us hope
AO-10 returns and urge Pacific stations to listen on 145.905 for our
efforts from the Central and Western USA.  Cliff K7RR
