[amsat-bb] LongJiang 1 & 2 arrive at the Moon

[Ray Hoad]

Just a comment. Note the eccentricity of 0.9658153 for both Longjiang 1 and
2 in this week's AMSAT-NA TLE distribution. 

Definitely not a near circular orbit around the Earth.  It is the largest
eccentricity that I remember seeing.

No TLEs for Longjiang 1 and 2 next week!

Zach,

No, I don't have information on WebSDRs. They would have
to use large antennas and good preamps.
