    I had 1.5 days of almost clear sky, first in six weeks ??
    So I was watching the 35 deg SW (if 140 km) pass at 7:01 (one-power) and saw
    nothing.
    
    FWIW, in the evening before (2002-12-11) I searched with 7*50 18:40-19:05
    UTC at 20 deg N for USA 129, but saw nothing.
    
    Earlier, at work (59.52N 17.9E) I observed MMA+SP flares from Ir95? and Ir58
    (24,25 km E,34,30 km W) at mag -4 +2 +3 -1 but predicted -1.4 -2.6 -0.2 -2.2
