[amsat-bb] Satellite passes for open house TH. night

[Dr. Jay Garlitz]

The satellite passes below start 22:35 UTC (6:35 local time) Thursday night
and follow until 10:16 pm local time. As you can see from the list below
there are satellite passes of many different satellites and modes.  This is
a good evening to come by and learn how to use the satellites and the
advantages/disadvantages of each mode.  

 

I hope to see you there!
