[amsat-bb] Re: FO-29 schedule Jan. 2008

[SV1BSX]

 Hi all,

  the same assistance offered from Europe, when the satellite cames from 
Africa and then pass
over Europe and N.America.

  Also NO reply.  I think JARL does not want any other command-peoples in 
her Satellite.

 The current schedule of FO-29 is also completely drossy for Europeans, as 
the satellite is
"ON" when the pass is over central or North Europe at the.... middle of the 
night !
I tried 2 times and of course I was just me and... satellite.
Nobody else.

73, Mak SV1BSX
