AMSAT News Service Bulletin 159.03 From AMSAT HQ
Silver Spring, MD. June 8, 2003
To All Radio Amateurs
BID: $ANS-159.03
A-40 should return to ALON/ALAT = 0/0 about June 20th. We can stay at
ALON/ALAT = 0/0 until early October, when another cycle of attitude
changes will have to start. A typical passband schedule for
ALON/ALAT = 0/0 is MA 40 to 210. This has the passbands active when
the squint is approx. 30 degs. or less. Barring an unforeseen problem, plan
on a similar schedule for field day. AO-40 will be visible by all of North
America at the start of field day, Saturday June 28th This is all based on
making it back to 0/0 by June 20th. We should at least be close to that
value by then, though the perigee eclipses are making it slow going to
advance ALON.
[ANS thanks Stacey, W4SM, for the above information]
