Again nothing heard from ARISSAT-1 on the Nov 30  13:43 Z pass.  I will be 
observing the 13:59 Cincinnati  pass on Thursday  Dec 1.  I believe it may be 
out of eclipse long enough to be active. If so,  I will be listening, looking 
on 145.930  and trying to send SSTV, on 435.750.  Hope many  others will also 
try. Tx and Rx of  SSTV has been demonstrated a couple of times through the 
Transponder even with its shortened antenna  and I believe with persistence can 
be done again. This is the last,  possible active, useable  pass for my area 
until mid December.  I will be  back Dec 18  if ARISSat-1  is still in orbit.  
Please report any thing received Dec 1. Thanks

Nothing heard from ARISSat-1 this AM 15:04 Z Nov 29..  Did anyone hear signals 
from 145.930 or 145.950?  Pass was very short over Cincinnati this AM and El 
only 2 deg..  
Will try again Wednesday Nov 30 at 13:43 Z but believe eclipse will prohibit 
sat to be active.

All,
With the research and recent "heads up" by Mineo Wakita, JE9PEL, Allan Biddle, 
WA4SCA and Clint Bradford, KCLCS it appears there may be only a few weeks left 
to receive and  experiment with ARISSat-1/RADIOSKAF-V.
On Monday Nov 28 I will be set up to receive voice, CW and SSTV via the 
transponder  on 145.930 MHz +/- doppler.   This will be on the AOS starting at 
14:47 Z pass over Cincinnati. This pass may be too soon after the eclipse so 
the sat may not be activated.  If it is active,  I will try to send a couple of 
 SSTV R36 transmissions.  I will be listening and looking for others to send 
also.
