- RADIOSKY.ZIP
-
- This zip file contains AZEL.BAS, AZEL.EXE and R7100.BAS. The
- programs with .BAS extensions are source files. They must be
- loaded into a BASIC interpreter in order to run. I have
- tested them with Microsoft's QBASIC (supplied with DOS since
- version 4.0) and Quick BASIC. They may also work with
- GWBASIC or other BASIC interpreters, but I have not tested
- them.
-
- AZEL.EXE is a stand-alone sky-coordinate conversion program
- compiled from AZEL.BAS. It converts between the
- right-ascension (RA) and declination (dec) coordinates used
- by astronomers and the local azimuth and elevation
- coordinates used by Amateur Radio operators. To use
- AZEL.EXE, simply get to a DOS prompt, change to the
- directory containing AZEL.EXE, type "AZEL" and press the
- Return or Enter key. AZEL requests the information needed
- from you.
-
- R7100 is a simple program to take information from an ICOM
- R-7100 receiver with an Optoelectronics CX12 or an ICOM
- CT-17 computer interface. R7100 was not compiled because the
- user must set the communication baud rate in line 100.

- See "The Radio Sky," by Darrel Emerson in June and July 1996
- QST magazine for more information about these programs. QST
- is published by the American Radio Relay League.
