I've been hooked on them ever since I picked up a PCTrak 3 a couple weeks ago. Any suggested readings for amateur uses of these satellites? I have been following AO-13 specifically because of the amount of time covered by mutual visibility with San Francisco. I'm mostly interested in knowing what kind of services they offer.. store and forward? real-time QSO's? what about imaging? satellite-to-satellite links for real time chats? any help would be greatly appreciated -- Steven Jackson, Assistant to the Chair of Computer Science Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University 251 Mercer Street, NY NY 10012 Work <-- (forwarded) Home jackson@cs.nyu.edu, jcksnste@acfcluster.nyu.edu, sjackson@cjbbs.com ------------------------------ Date: 18 Aug 1994 23:50:04 -0400 From: newstf01.cr1.aol.com!search01.news.aol.com!not-for-mail@uunet.uu.net Subject: Satellite tracking and Mean Anomaly To: ham-space@ucsd.edu In article <3317jp$443@aggedor.rmit.EDU.AU>, david@pitvax.xx.rmit.edu.au writes: Hi David, does your probram give you phase numbers? If so, thats the same thing. Other programs do give the MA/Phase numbers, its an important thing to know.
