New email from Old Gods, new task

Unfortunately, my ISP provider assigns me a new login every time I turn on my computer/reset the modem. This means my location can be between San Diego and Los Angeles, depending on what route AT&T decides to take that moment.

I think it is more like each app has an embedded code…gathered from information about your system. Take a look at this site named WhatsMyIP. It shows the information that appears to websites to identify you. More Info About You / WhatsMyIP.org

Ohhh! My Signal strength since 22min past the hour has been … 2165890XX.xxxxxxxxxx The x’s are changing numbers that keep increasing in value.

It continued to increase and the red dot seemed to start lagging. After a few minutes I tried to press send result, but it automatically refreshed the page the second I hit… I hope it worked.

If you got the email from Old Gods, the link to the uplink page is actually a link to the mailing list server with a tracking id containing your CSD ID. If you use that link to go to the uplink page then they will know that it is you. I’m not sure that it works the same on the mobile app but both the main satcom-70 page and the uplink.satcom-70 store a few hundred bytes on your phone (cookie or app data), but I don’t have a convenient way on my current phone to verify what is there. Use the link in the email if you want them to know your CSD ID.

With the “10 days prediction” look for an orange result, it will tell you what day it will be the best (and you local time). With a 80° El I had a 0.984 strength result.

Aha, same thing happened to me! You’re the only other person I’ve seen with a result just over 1.

Captured on PC, for some reason my Firefox is rendering the logo wonky.

Were you riding on the satellite? :rofl: That is a crazy high number!

That may be why they asked us to use Chrome.

OK. I’m happy with this. I’m going to stop trying now.

I thought it was impossible to get over a 1.0 but I guess not… I must try harder!

I’m far from the first. And far from the best. @Jupiter.blues got a 1.03.:grinning:

It would be interesting to know at how many degrees (El) minimum we can reach the 1.0x. I guess that 90° is pretty rare, i had 0.984 with 80° and I have to wait until the 31st for a 84°. I hope it’ll be enough.

Just Cause 4, The Satellite Walker… I dunno man.
I used the 10 day tracker to determine the best time to sync. I was near 0.98 2 min before the tracker said the sat was over head. I then hit refresh and synced again… and again like 4 times. As soon as the exact time the tracker said the sat would be nearest to me, it started to increase. I waited almost 10 minutes before I hit send results to see if it would continue increasing, it then started to lag so I tried to press send results. The page then refreshed itself. I then tried to sync again but the signal strength was decreasing.

I missed my window this morning by a couple minutes, so I had a .81 to upload. Good enough by Eastern Oregon standards. :slight_smile:

Just checked and I get another shot at 12:13pm.

Okay, a .87 is the result. Another try gets me a .90 result.

I seem to be early on this? Just got a .92 and will try again as long as it keeps going up.

Peaked at .98, but not bad.

I missed my chance. A Real Life emergency (a friend) needed assistance and I was away from the house. All satellite passes from then on were far away (1,000+ miles) from my location. Oh well, RL comes first.

I suspect that the important thing to do is to submit the best signal you can manage, under your own circumstances.

Lots of people will have commitments, and limited time. Very few participants can wait around for the perfect moment.

There’s still time. The crucial thing is to make sure you submit something.

Closest I’ve gotten on the three passes of the satellite for me this week.
