To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
SORRY, maybe this is mailed twice:
Observed at station 50.7 NLat, 7.1 ELon, JAN 29, 1994
NOAA-9: APT 137.62 On
NOAA-10: APT 137.50 *OFF*
NOAA-11: APT 137.62 On
NOAA-12: APT 137.50 On
Meteor 2-21: APT 137.85 On (weak)
Meteor 3-5: APT 137.30 OFF ???
Meteor 3-6: APT 137.30 *NEW* ON ??
Meteor 3-5 is over the terminator (more or less), so no
APT could be received at my station.
*NEW* Meteor 3-6 (launched JAN 25) was quiet during orbit #57
around 10.30 UT, transmitted APT during orbit #58 descending
at about 12.20 UT and was quiet again orbit #59 around 14.09 UT.
A gif-image of the europe-pass orbit #58 is available for anon ftp
at ftp.gmd.de, dir images/satellites, file M60129first.gif,
together with a ascii-description named M60129first.txt
The signal was good but seemed to be somewhat overmodulated.
NOAA-10 is off due to VHF-conflict with NOAA-12, should become
active again FEB 01 6.00 UT due to info from wxsat-mail-list.
And: Meteor 2-21 is weak as always.

Subject: HELP: NOAA10 element sets wrong?
To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
Can anyone confirm that the past element sets for NOAA 10 are correct?
We are tracking all birds but NOAA 10 correctly. We found that NOAA 10 was
over Florida when we were tracking it over the poles. Anyone else been
correctly or incorrectly tracking it over this weekend?
Please send replies directly to my email address, thanks in advance!

Subject: Inexpensive GPS
To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
I have been intrested in global positioning. I have seen units for under
$600, and pc interface and logging is available. Do the makers of these units
pay for the service of the satalites. (Can these signals be received with
pc software and receiver or receivers and used for global positioning.)
Do GPS units have multiple receivers {3}, or a single receiver that
receives timed signals from multiple satalites. I would appreciate any info or
source of info on this subject. Or a site that has GPS software.
Thanx$$$
