[amsat-bb:61971] AO-40 Update, 2002-08-17

["Stacey E. Mills" <w4sm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The beginning of the passband, following eclipse, has been moved from MA = 
60 to MA = 76, due to lengthening eclipses and worsening squint 
angles.  Alon is currently ~25 degs, but will be moving toward 30+ degs in 
the next several days.

RUDAK is currently set to be active on:
Aug 17    SAT
Aug 21    WED

Due to lengthening eclipses and power budget issues, RUDAK sessions may 
have to be terminated in the near future until conditions improve.
