    Thanks to the information provided by Tony Beresford, Bjoern Gimle, and 
    Mike McCants I was able to acquire and time the flashes of ETS-6 from 
    Tucson, AZ this morning.  I was late getting out, and 3rd magnitude 
    flashes were already under way at 11:11:03 UTC.  I used 5x25 binoculars 
    to obtain the data in the table below.  "P" represents a primary flash, 
    and it appears that the interval between flashes was 9.0 seconds at the 
    beginning of the 8 minute observation, and 9.2 seconds at the end.  After 
    several minutes, the primary flashes dimmed to 6th magnitude or less, and 
    they were still visible when I ceased observation.  I hope to make a 
    future observation soon, with better magnitude data.
