<font size=3>I wish I was able to upload the locations. I not at a
location where I can perform that service. However, I did spot it
when it was directly overhead here in Bakersfield. What a
magnificent site.<br><br>

The plane is in the Los Angeles RF area and will fly right over the

Someone needs to put this object on local RF there, so all the Hams can

Just uplink it every time it changes course or every 10 minutes or
so.<br>
APRS.FI dead reckons it so everyone can see where it is even though
you<br>
only uplink every now and then. But the goal is RF for those
actually<br>
outside to see it. It is almost half way to Phoenix at 2
PM California<br>
time so my guess is it will arrive in Phoenix around 2 AM phoenix
time?<br><br>

Just look were it is on their map, then use APRS.FI to figure out
the<br>
LAT/LONG and then use your APRS on RF to input a SOLAR1 object to
show<br>
everyone on the road where it is. Another way it to have a
passenger keep<br>
an eye on it and try to drive your car under it! Give your mobile
the<br>
call of SOLAR1 and that also will work, though the parallax of
keeping<br>
your car directly under it at 20,000 feet will be almost impossible..
