Good Eastern Pass of Space Station, or Western Pass?
Have a look at the pass direction of International Space Station at 9.43 am today. Looks like a Western pass. But there is a snag. Maximum elevation is seen at 56.65 NE. Look at minimum elevation at 36.72 NE. That cannot happen for a Western Pass. Looked at this zoomed image. It can be clearly seen as an Eastern pass at my location. This confusion occurs often for high elevation passes. Unless we are careful about it, we might rotate the antenna in the opposite direction ending up with poor reception and contacts. Here is the curated pass recording after removing periods with no satellite signals. I had rotated my Moxon Yagi twice during the pass manually to get more of the satellite pass, instead of keeping it at one position. I could hear and work VU2EXP, VU2MZP and VU2TEK.
