In the same utilities directory is a program called SORTNENG which will
extract specific satellites from a list of Keps. I use it in combination
with NASAWASH in a batch file to send customized lists to the several
tracking programs I use.

I used to use a program called NASAWASH. You set up a "mysats" file that
specifies which birds you are interested in, and then you can set up a batch
file that will automatically parse whatever input file you specify (like
nasa.all) and output the filtered results to the filename and location that
you specified.
Looks like it's still available in the AMSAT software archive at
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/software/PC/util/nasawash.zip

Hello everyone,
Is there a program or script that could automate the creation of a custom
keplerian element list that includes satelites that i?m only interested in,
from data from either either spacetrack or celestrack?
My idea is to create something similar to the list that AMSAT publishes but
more specific to my needs, meaning that there are some sats in there that I
don?t care about.
I tried the TLEretriever but no cigar there, at least for the purpose in
sight.

Hi Gordon,
Why bother with the rants if you feel so pissed?
I also liked the "old" amsat site but also realise things have moved on
since then.
Way back (!) I used to get my keps from the scheds on 20 metres along
with several other folk, we all used to pool our handwritten notes to
get consensus on the probable keps.
Then they were entered manually into a derivative of Tom Clark's
"orbit" program, thanks to Phil ZL1PK, who had access to the work
computer and then disseminated to other interested amateurs.
Sometimes by MAIL!.
Today I fire up SATpc and upload the latest keps, have a look at the
track of the selected sat, look at the mutual visibility and decide if
it's worth going on air...... Tragic really when I think that I used to
listen for AO10 and then try to get onboard using all (really) home brew
gear.
So I guess , is the amsat community about grid chasing, moaning about
the HEO LEO FM APRS ISS DATA ETC satellites or about amateur
experimentation on OUR frequencies using space based technology?
In any event I expect a heap of replies about the direction that some of
the posters to this forum seem to be heading in.(hi Keith!)
In my opinion(!) the majority of folk on the board are far more
interested in chasing grids and complaining about the minutiae of
operating a given sat instead of debating the real issues... like where
or who is going to provide more space junk for us to (hopefully)
experiment with. Notice I did not say grid chase, position finangle
systems, space relay systems, or any thing else.... All I would like to
see is real debate and experimentation on AMSAT (as in real, and
hypothetical future sats, as opposed to the present fixation on the lack
of "x" satellites). As an old curmudgeon these topics exercise my
limited mental capabilities but I would still like to see some
intelligent discussion on at least some of of the crazy "I'm entitled to
this (information) I see far too often on this board.
Get real: Search for it your selves...Google...Join your local club, get
on air and ask, go to a local college and join there science class,
do some research at your local library...etc etc.
I really worry that the "amateur" service is going to vanish mainly due
to "the we are entitled to it" mentality.
We aren't.
Don,
ZL1THO

I use these programs to customize a list of satellites with their current
tracking data.
Nova for Windows has a feature to customize a list of multiple satellites
_http://www.nlsa.com/docs/nfwquick.pdf_
(http://www.nlsa.com/docs/nfwquick.pdf)
and watch each satellite footprint as they travel across a rectangular map
_http://www.nlsa.com/nfw_maps.html#Rect_
(http://www.nlsa.com/nfw_maps.html#Rect)
I also use SATPC32 which has pretty much the same feature set.

The Chinese, in order to damage the Japanese HF transceiver market, sent a
rocket into the Sun full of spot remover.

The SO-67 command station has agreed to set the following start times
for 15 minute activations over North America for Field Day. Activations
are -planned-, and are dependent on scheduling and battery state.
Remember both ARRL and AMSAT Field Day rules limit QSOs to one per FM
repeater/satellite. Even if you are not submitting a log, please adhere
to this procedure.

Uplink is 145.875, no tone, and Narrow FM if possible. Downlink is
