    "content": "I just was digging through my ham shack and there was my original Oscarlocator, first revision, 12-76.  I also found a publication from the ARRL, \"Getting to know Oscar from the ground up\" published in 1977.  It describes how to use the Oscarlocator.    All you needed was the EQX, equator-crossing information that was provided by the W1AW bulletins and you could predict AOS and LOS for Oscar 6 or 7.  Pretty neat stuff at the time.\n\nBob\nWA8FXQ \n\n> On Feb 24, 2019, at 7:24 PM, Wendy and Terry Osborne <[email protected]> wrote:\n> \n> Hi Les,\n> \n> The Oscar locator and how it works was described in much detail in \"The Satellite Experimenter's Handbook\".\n> This was published by ARRL.

The OSCAR-Locator is really neat—I’m digging through back issues of QST now trying to learn how to actually use it.
