Chip (I believe he goes by) has it as a headliner on his site. Ready to

There were 72 satellites on that launch. It will take some time to
determine which is which, but it'll be one of the objects with an
international designation of 2017-042?? or NORAD ID
42820 - 42896.

It says once opened it will
"
It will span 16 square meters (170 square feet)"
a Triangle one side of 170 sqft = 18 feet base to peak. But if they are
saying 170 sqft total, then divided by 3 = 10 foot tall base to peak.
Now for a surface to be reflective, how big does it need to be in terms
of wvelength?

For MW dishes, the general rule of thumb is 10 wavelengths. Are you
thinking about bouncing RF off of it? I would think the flat sides with it
tumbling would make it very hit and miss.
Interesting thought however.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Elevation meter Rotor YAESU G-5500 stopped working
Message-ID: <000701d30010$b9a1c5e0$2ce551a0$@xx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi all,
All of a sudden the elevation meter stopped working of my Yaesu G-5500 rotor
controller unit .
No issue with the AZ meter. Rotor itself keeps on steering / working
without any problem in EL &AZ (via interface EA4TX ARS-USB) so all still
working fine (fortunately !) for satellite work.
Looks like a component failure in the controller unit or the meter itself ?
A physical check (opening the controller unit) didn't show any anomaly.
Being a not too tech ham was wondering if any of you Yaesu rotor users had
seen this problem before / around ?
Possibly anyone to hint/ indicate at a quick check in the schematic wire
diagram to where to start looking for this failure ?
Thanks beforehand for yr appreciated advice

Swap cables and see if the problem follows the cable(rotor) or always stays
on the EL meter. That should divide the problem in half first.
