Hey everyone,
Can anyone who is local to Sawson, KG6NUB, please ask him to drop me an
email at <my call> at AMSAT dot org?
I'm interested in getting in touch with him for more than the few seconds of
an FM-satellite contact.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I've seen satellite tracking software that works for portable operations
such as the old Palm Pilots and also on smartphones that have Windows Mobile
or Palm OS.
The new Droid phone on the android platform looks really interesting and I
was wondering if anyone knew if
1) The aforementioned apps would work on this OS
2) Are there any satellite tracking apps specifically made to run on
the Android?
Thank you,
Tim

Tim,
The Andorid phones have a SDK available and the OS is Open, unlike the
iPhone.
So I think that once released, Tomorrow, we should see a bunch of apps.
I am anxious to get mine, its been ordered.

I have a G1, which also runs Android. (I also work at a shop that does
smartphone programming.) Palm is a very different programming environment
from Windows Mobile, and both are quite different from Android, although
both WM and Android are Java based, they won't run each other's programs.

Not yet. None that I'm aware of, anyway. It's on my list, but someone
else will probably get to it before I do. That's what usually happens.

I'm only posting here because the HRD forums don't seem to have much
activity. Please see the my posts (before the thread was hijacked) at the
following link http://forums.ham-radio.ch/showthread.php?t=17841
Basically, the VFO is not switching to the TX freq at all or it's waiting
until after I've finished keying 90% of the time.
Thanks,
Tim KI6VBY
Ps- sorry for taking up so much bandwidth with questions lately, trying to
get back into the sats and have a few problems

Hi all!
With a little more than a week to go for the deadline, 11/14/09, I just
wanted to send out a reminder for those who haven't submitted to me their
most wanted grids.
I am undertaking a task to get a better reading on what grids are
"outstanding" in need of activation. I am looking at obtaining the top 25
grids from the predominately 10 grid fields covering the U.S., Canada and
Mexico, for the total of 250 grids. Yes, most of these grids will be in the
U.S., however, I'm sure there will be some mention of VE and XE grids as
well. What I would like everybody to do is take some time and look at your
grid map and write down 25 grids from each of the grid fields that cover the
U.S., Canada and Mexico. Those grid fields are: CN, DN, EN, FN, CM, DM, EM,
FM, DL, EL. If you don't need at least 25 grids from a particular grid
field, no problem, just enter those you still need. Example. Let's say you
only need three grids from DM, they are DM74, 75, 76. Just enter those
three.
To make things simple and easy I will give an example of how the data can be
entered and e-mailed to me. Here is an example.
CN 79, 82, 93, 95, 99
DN 02, 03, 07, 13, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 25, 34, 37, 38
As you can see, it's relatively easy, and very easy if you've kept up on
your grid map. :)
A couple of notices.
1. Please, do not send any "water grids" since any operation from them is
sporadic and most cases, impracticle to activate for most of us.
2. Please send your data to me via e-mail, attaching it to this e-mail will
be fine. The cutoff date is November 14, 2009. This will give all plenty
of time to look over their maps and data.
Questions, comments or just sending the data, please send an e-mail.
Looking forward to receiving your replies!
73,

Hi,
I'm just writing an IARU Locator App at the moment. Once I've done that,
I'll have the gound-station location sorted.
I've already ported Predict SGP-4/SDP-4 to Java (in use by Genso) so I
think the next step should be relatively straightforward.
You can check-out the code for the algorithm using subversion from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/websat/develop
Please note that it is licensed under GPLv2.
