    "content": "Greetings all...\n\nI'm glad to accept the invitation to participate in this email reflector.\n\nI want to say a few words about our intentions regarding the Satellite\ntracking app in Ham Radio Deluxe.\n\nTo recap, in brief, for those who haven't followed the path of Ham Radio\nDeluxe...\n\n\nHam Radio Deluxe was developed by Simon Brown in the early 2000's... pretty\nmuch as an experiment or hobby.  By 2010, there were over 100,000\nregistered users using the software for free... but Simon wanted to move on\nto other interests.  By the end of 2011, Internet posts were full of\n\"R.I.P\" postings and no real development had been done for more than a year.\n\nI was looking to move off of an old logging program (Log Windows) and Ham\nRadio Deluxe looked interesting, but it lacked serious capabilities that\nDXers need.  After contacting Simon and much convincing, I talked him into\nselling me the source code and the rights to Ham Radio Deluxe (past,\npresent, and future).  But I'm not a developer... and I needed one.  I\npartnered with two other people (Rick and Randy).  Rick and Erik did the\ndevelopment through the end of 2016.  And while Randy and I continued with\nour \"day jobs\", Rick was appointed \"managing partner\" and ran the company\nuntil 1/1/2017 when he left and Randy and I assumed full and equal control\nof the company.\n\nThe reason I point this out is this:  Since Randy and I took control of the\ncompany on 1/1/2017, we brought in a fantastic developer who whipped\nthrough 150 items in the product backlog and we had 10 releases in 2017.\nMuch progress was made.  However, this developer decided to move on to\nother things.  At the end of last fall, we added a new developer and  he's\ndoing a fine job (though he's not a ham).\n\n\nTo the present...\n\nIt's clear that Ham Radio Deluxe has become too large for a single\ndeveloper.  It's not fair to expect a single developer to tend five\napplications.  And while Rig Control, Logbook, and DM-780 account for about\n80% of the requested fixes and features... it tends to \"drown-out\" the\nother applications - Satellite Tracking, Rotor Control, and Mapper.\n\nMake no mistake - I'm committed to ALL the applications in the Ham Radio\nDeluxe suite.\n\nIn the past few weeks, I have begun on-boarding two additional developers.\nIt's my intention to on-board one or two more over the next few weeks.\n\nMy plan is to have a primary developer for each of the applications.  Given\nthat there's no better time to focus on satellite work than during a\nsunspot low (me included)... we will absolutely give the Satellite app the\ntime it deserves.\n\nI'm actually feeling pretty good about the progress we made in 2017.  But\nthere's a whole lot more to do.\n\nIf there's a developer among you who would like to jump in (and get paid)\nto work on the Satellite app... by all means, contact me directly and I'll\ngive you the keys.  I absolutely want this app to be the very best\nsatellite app available for hams.  (Significant and demonstrated experience\nwith Visual Studio, C++, MFC is required.  Able to work and make progress\nindependently - because I've got a day-job that still requires 60 hrs a\nweek.)\n\nBut yes - I'm aware that we've got work to do here and I'm absolutely\ncommitted to getting it done.\n\nWe'll be at the Orlando Hamcation this weekend... come see us if you're in\nthe area!\n\nMike, WA9PIE\n",
