I've tried to decipher the callsigns from the two recordings of the 8 Nov USA
passes that Johan Papay posted, and subsequently mapped the callsigns on a
Google Map. You can view this at http://sumbandilamission.blogspot.com. I
apologise in advance if I omitted someone from the map or incorrectly
identified others. You are most welcome to correct my mistakes!

Doesn't HRD support remote control of a radio via RPC or some similar
mechanism? Wouldn't be too hard to write a program that controlled the radio
via that interface, shielding HRD from the rig's limited command set.
I wrote a program to control the radio a while ago, it was pretty easy to
do. I never got around to implementing some of the features I planned
(interface to Predict, GUI, etc) but as it is, it can set mode and
frequency, automatically track an FM downlink using the discriminator meter,
and send and receive AQS messages (on the odd chance I ever find someone
with another 736). All done in 175 lines of Python.

Sounds like the South Africans have continued their tradition of good
birds with solid downlinks. I haven't yet worked SO-67, still have
some antenna issues, but I have fond memories of the last South
African bird - SO-35. :)
