Kept my Moxon Yagi pointed North East to get maximum out of the pass. Initially I heard some foreign accent stations, which could be from the neighbouring country. Later I could hear S21 faintly, but not the suffix. Just gave call for S21, could not get the reply. After some time, I went outside to rotate the antenna towards East to catch the second half of the pass. To my surprise, I found that wind had already rotated my antenna in that direction. I could hear E21EJC clearly several times and establish contact. Later I heard VU2ADV also working him. Then I could also work VU2ADV. Now I can understand that wind loading is a real factor with light antennas mounted lightly. I had noted that whatever the direction I keep the antenna, some time later, it is pointing South on most occasions. Towards the end of the pass I could also hear the NA1SS beacon in Morse Code faintly. Here is the pass recording after removing the unclear initial part and terminal part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pass of space station was from North North West to South East, with maximum elevation of 40 degrees in my region, at around 5.15 pm.
