Hey you early birds!
Assuming clear skies, the ISS will come out of the Earth's shadow in the
West at 5:26am, near the totally eclipsed full moon.
Then the ISS will glide from the West, through the constellation Orion in
the South-West, before disappearing near the horizon in the South-East
around 5:30am.
During this whole pass, the full moon, which is a little lower on the
horizon in the West below where the ISS first appears, will remain glowing
in a reddish color while in total eclipse by the Earth's shadow.
If want to try a cross-band repeat via the ISS's FM repeater:
STATUS - Configured. Default mode is for cross band repeater (145.990 MHz
up {PL 67} & 437.800 MHz down)
Good luck to everyone who gives this a look!
Jim
