Ed,

The satellite is on over the continental U.S. on ascending passes (S
to N). If the satellite's clock is perfectly synchronized with the
schedule (which it usually isn't - sometimes it is a minute or a few
off), you would expect to initially hear silence at 20:59, one minute
of digital telemetry starting at 21:00:46, seven minutes of the FM
repeater starting at 21:01:06, and then another minute of digital
telemetry starting at 21:08:06.
