Okean 1-7 started APT during -> rev. #176 over the Black See at 13h 11min 10sec UT ascending. -> I copied a very dark vis-image 240 lpm from a max elevation -> of 12 deg, this showed the spacecraft clock was working at -> 973 mins after midnight moscow-time = 16h13mins Moscow-time -> = 13.13 UT. During next rev #177 APT was OFF. -> I wonder if the satellite is ever active over the US, We have also received a picture from Okean 1-7 satellite on Oct 23 here in Finland. The picture was very dark. The station was Vehkalahti +60.34 N +27.04 E.

Stafford) Subject: Balloon Launch materials needed Looking to launch a weather balloon for high school science class. I have seen all kinds of radiosonde packages on the surplus market when i wasn't looking for one, but now I can't seem to find any. Any ideas on this and the balloon. I think I can come up with the transmitter, etc, but all those temp sensors and pressure sensors, I would rather find packaged. I did see a nice sized balloon in Edmonds for about $17 but I think there might be even better deals in the surplus market. Also, any contacts of hams who are doing this routinely would help. Thanks and 73, Jim W4QO 404-993-9500 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Oct 1994 19:22:17 GMT From: kb6axk@netcom.com (joe cira) Subject: HAM*INFO*LINK*SOURCE BBS new amateur radio "ham" bbs at 818-584-1952 73 & 88 de kb6axk,joe -- US AMATEUR RADIO |sysop of the HAM*INFO*LINK*SOURCE BBS| KB6AXK | at 1-818-584-1952,joe cira | PASADENA,CAL,91107| kb6axk@netcom.com | ------------------------------ Date: 25 Oct 1994 20:41:43 GMT From: "F.

Now it has off times, since OCT 22, but this was 2 weeks ago. I think we have about 2 months of off for eclipse times coming up, then the pointing will be better again and the schedule more normal. I used to do mode JL, but now that that's gone, I'm B only. Don't have a converter for S, though maybe next year....
