ATV SIG Members,
If you have trouble sleeping and are up early in the morning, try listening for MIR SSTV during the passes below. There is no guarantee that there will be transmissions and doppler effects may shift the 145.985 MHz freq up to 5 KHz, but some of the best things in life are a crap-shoot after all. These are also good times to visually see the space station since it is sunlit and the sky will be quite dark. It will appear to be the fastest moving "star" in the sky. Have fun!
73s, Rod WB9KMO
