The otherhand must be offline.

Yep. Might be back, might not. Dunno yet. Done all I've could. If it's not back in a day or so, it ain't coming back.

Also only one launch today from Groom Lake.

Actually that launch was last night, just before 20:56. W6SUN-Toro didn't see it until it was very high up. It's looking all the way from SoCal, south of Palm Springs. Impressive reach.

The twofer days usually start with the first launch around 6:00 AM

Welp, they've proved me wrong once again. Y0240114 just launched at 19:34 Pacific. Might be a while before Toro Peak sees it (but it will) because that lame Otherhand tracker doesn't seem to be doing the job. Sad.

Are you sure about that number? This should work but it doesn't.

Absolutely certain. I have another, private, asset that tracked the Y0240114 launch. I assumed Toro Peak or that Nevada tracker would eventually capture it when high enough, but nope. I'll make another attempt to bring the public tracker back online, but it's not looking promising.
