Joe, I used the AMSAT web site to check your numbers ( http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/predict/). Enter the coordinates you gave and choose "next 30 passes" or so to look ahead into the future.
The first passes of the day seem to be within +- 1 minute of your predictions for 50, 51, 27, and 16. ISS is about 4 minutes off, so you might want to update your keps for that one. I didn't go beyond the first passes of June 15. As the textbooks say, that is an exercise left to the reader. 73 de AJ4MJ On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 6:49 PM, RFI-EMI-GUY <[email protected]> wrote: > Could some kind sole with a trusted program please run some or all of > the satellites below for the date June 15, 2009 > for the coordinates for Virgin Gorda BVI (listed below) and cross check > my sample results below? > > I am using keps 14 days old. > > > Thanks! > > Location: > > Virgin Gorda British Virgin Islands > > Lattitude 18.433, Longitude - 64.416, 12 m AMSL > > Radio visibility - Multiple satellite schedule for : Ao-16 > > Ao-16, Ao-27, Ao-51, Iss, So-50 > > +------------------ AOS ------------------+MAX EL.+ ----- LOS ------ + > UTC Date Time | Satellite Azm | Elev. | Time Azm | > Duration > 06/15/09 00:58:00 | So-50 313.1° | 21.1° | 01:10:00 183.3° > | 00:12 > 06/15/09 05:10:00 | Ao-27 67.8° | 3.5° | 05:17:00 125.7° > | 00:07 > 06/15/09 06:37:00 | Ao-16 48.3° | 12.5° | 06:48:00 150.6° > | 00:11 > 06/15/09 06:46:00 | Ao-27 12.5° | 86.3° | 07:01:00 192.1° > | 00:15 > 06/15/09 07:56:00 | Iss 181.1° | 13.0° | 08:04:00 64.5° > | 00:08 > 06/15/09 08:15:00 | Ao-16 359.7° | 42.1° | 08:29:00 207.0° > | 00:14 > 06/15/09 08:28:00 | Ao-27 325.0° | 5.3° | 08:37:00 250.9° > | 00:09 > 06/15/09 09:29:00 | Ao-51 46.7° | 13.6° | 09:40:00 155.2° > | 00:11 > 06/15/09 09:31:00 | Iss 250.1° | 17.4° | 09:40:00 22.1° > | 00:09 > 06/15/09 11:06:00 | Ao-51 357.4° | 33.0° | 11:20:00 210.1° > | 00:14 > 06/15/09 11:43:00 | So-50 146.4° | 6.1° | 11:53:00 61.9° > | 00:10 > 06/15/09 13:21:00 | So-50 207.6° | 71.1° | 13:36:00 22.2° > | 00:15 > 06/15/09 15:06:00 | So-50 279.1° | 4.1° | 15:13:00 339.5° > | 00:07 > > -- > Joe Leikhim K4SAT > "The RFI-EMI-GUY"© > > "Use only Genuine Interocitor Parts" Tom Servo ;-P > > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via [email protected].
