Need freqs and specs for any satellites workable on HF, and on 10M - 2M - 440, as well as modes (CW, FM, SSB, whatever), whether they're mirror image, could hit with low ERP, etc. Sorry for blanket ignorance.

It is a very powerful piece of equipment and is under utilized with it's present firmware. Is anyone doing any programming for this device? Is firmware version 2.0 the latest? Is the AEA DSP unit programmable and if so are programs written for it compatible with the DSP-12? Any info or opinions welcomed. Thanks Bruce N4USH -- Bruce M.

For my final-year degree project I am building an automatic satellite tracking system and I need to know how to calculate the current position of a satellite from Keppler Elements. I presume all that is required is a few formulas, functions of time, but my maths is not up to working it out the hard way. If anyone knows what these formulas are and could mail them to me I would be grateful. (You will be sure to get your name in the acknowledgments.) I am writing the software in C, if that helps any. Please send any mail direct - preferrably to the address as the bottom of this post - and I will summarize if there is anything of interest.
