Henk,

the problem is that the assignment changed on spacetrack.org. If you use the
"old" TLE and the objects belongs to this TLE  the confusion is complete.
Your old E is now D... etc.

old C -> now F
old D -> now C
old F -> now G
old G -> now E

It's not the first time that happens!

I tracked with the following TLE and got excellent results -> see the graphs
on my SatBlog.

CASTOR
1 35695U 09038G   09214.62699302  .00023572  00000-0  12777-3 0    44

POLLUX
1 35693U 09038E   09214.62668842  .00017764  00000-0  96621-4 0    44

Let's see what tomorrow brings ...

73, Mike

Betreff: ANDE2 reception observations (PA3GUO Aug 3rd, 2009)

Using Object G as posted by Nigel Sunday (Aug 2nd)
and freq 145.827 (plus doppler correction over that),
I have todays results as below.

At the start/end of a pass mostly POLLUX, and in the middle mostly Castor
Most likely this has to do with difference in freq and the sats moving out.

Anyone a most scientific view on this :-) ?
Henk, PA3GUO

ps1: I took 145.827 as the middle between the two, based on Ken's
observation.
ps2: I stripped the data parts from the telemetry below (for this
discussion)
