Hi John,
The UK and the mid-west were mutually visible
in the morning almost the entire month of
November, 1997, via AO-10. There was
a gap for a couple of weeks in December,
1997, but mutual visibility returned for
the 2nd half of January 1998 into
Feburary 1998.
RS12/13 made morning passes

My guess would be AO13.If you have the exact date and time you may be able
to determine which
satellite it was by using an old computer and the
original Quiktrack program.73,George W1GMA

I had forgotten about the RS satellites. Not sure if Wales would have been
in the footprint from where I was at in Iowa at that time. I sure miss
RS12/13. That was a great satellite to get on. Mode T worked very well.
Wish they would put another one up like it.

Both RS birds (RS-10/11 and RS-12/13) were gems. I got infected with the
satellite bug by RS-10. Fortunately, it's an incurable affliction.
