[amsat-bb] New Satellites

[Robert Smith]

Aloha

(Gokigen ikaga desuka?)

I am not up to speed with the new satellites however
I was able to copy portions of transmissions from
two birds this evening. My QTH is Honolulu.
My rig; A Yaesu VX-7R with Arrow antenna. 
I used the keps given for PRISM and they seemed
accurate as the first signal came in as 
predicted at 1131Z (1/23/09)
Max. elev. for both satellites approx. 30 deg. W.

Satellite 1 (PRISM?):

Not much to go on but I think two 
Satellites are alive and doing well.

I suffered polarity problems with 
both satellites but I am sure things
will get better!!

Best to track one at a time!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL
And Congratuations to all the TEAMS
involved in making this happen.
