[amsat-bb:68895] AO-40 Update, 2003-06

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

If you have been following the ALON/ALAT, you'll already know that we have 
been nearly stuck in place for two weeks.  The perigee eclipses have made 
advancing ALON a very slow process.  We are making small net gains and the 
conditions will improve in the next few weeks.  We are currently at 
ALON/ALAT 345/0 and we should be closer to 0/0 by next week.

The passband has been lengthened to MA 180, and will be extended further 
when we reach ALON = 350.
