Hi Everyone, Quick update -- the previous post about this coming Saturday's trip to CM79 by the SCRA had incorrect predictions (sorry guys, I didn't double-check them before forwarding the notice on, but thanks to Rick WA4NVM for catching this). See below for the updated ones. Looks like they'll be using an Elk antenna and an HT, and they plan to try two AO27 and AO51 passes. I'll be listening out for them!

I re-ran with Orbitron with current TLE's and came up with this. Does it match your results for Saturday? They match up with Satellite Tracker Plus which I have on my Iphone. Charlie ...
