Clive et al, Just got the e-mail in time to hastily set up some equipmentfor the 19:30Z 75* max elevation pass for UO-11 over Hawaii. 706MKIIG, Arrow antenna on photo tripod, 25 ft. coax. So nothing special, I was in a hurry not to miss the pass, orbit #38127. The received signal was very weak, barely above noise level, but it was there. Sorry, no recording. Since my "long tom's" are still on the ground and pre-amps packed away in a box, I could not do any better. There are still a few issues to be addressed,before my old AO-10 class station is operational again. But then, no HEO in sight. Would be nice however to have the equipment back up, to take a listen. The next two possible orbits (#138134 @ 24* and # 138135 @ 18*) are not usable because UO-11 will be eclipsed on both passes. Will do what I can to listen in future passes, work and honeydo's permitting. 73
