Below are the rise and set times for STS-74 for selected US cities over
the next two days. This data was generated to help hams without orbit
programs to participate in the SAREX activities.  Please note that the
times shown are UTC and NOT LOCAL TIME.  This listing includes only those
passes with an elevation greater than 5 degrees. For information regarding
SAREX frequencies and operations procedures, check your local PBBS, or
bulletins from W1AW, W5RRR, W6VIO or WA3NAN.

Symbol key: rise = time that shuttle appears above horizon
	    tca  = time of closest approach to observer
	    set  = time that shuttle disappears below horizon
	    el   = maximium elevation above horizon
	    geo  = geometry: A = Ascending orbit,  moving south to north
			     D = Descending orbit, moving north to south
			     E = passes east of observer
			     W = passes west of observer

These predictions were generated from the orbit 96 state vector provided
by Ken Ernandes N2WWD, and are valid for the period of time following the
separation burn until landing. Landing is scheduled for 17:02 UTC on
November 20 at Kennedy Space Center, predictions for times later than
the nominal landing are provided in case the mission should be extended
due to poor weather at the landing site.

Users are reminded that these prediction bulletins are generated to assist
new hams and others who have no prior experience tracking space shuttle
missions. Anyone seriously interested in space shuttle missions is
encouraged to obtain their own tracking software. Many different programs
are available over the internet, or by calling Amsat headquarters at
301-589-6062.
