Armondo,

Heard it here as well.  At those closing speeds, it would not have been a
fender bender.

Hi,
Compass 1 survived its close conjuction
with Sich 1.

Compass 1 CW beacon was copied at AOS
right on time.

It was interesting to watch the encounter via
tracking program.  Closing velocities of 15,000 meters/second
or 34,000 MPH.

73, Armando N8IGJ
