There was a miscalculation due to the data in the previous one, this one should be more accurate:

@dl7ndr what was the elevation of the pass? If it was too low (under 20 degrees) then it wasn’t that bad :slight_smile:

Yeah @HS318, same here. Just about heard something in the noise but not enough to get any decode, max elev was only about 15deg. Probably no more opportunities for this one.

It was already below 10°.

Got now also a diploma for receiving farewell messages, telemetry and SSTV.

My submission for the reception of the last (“golden”) beacon is still unanswered.
