It does list all passes and not just the best. \n> You can use the next button to select the following days. The \n> site developer Chris Peat is very helpful, I am sure he could \n> tweak the page to better suite our needs\n> \n> Steve\n> G6UIM\n> \n> \n> -----Original Message-----\n> From: Robert Bruninga [mailto:[email protected]]\n> Sent: 20 October 2009 18:06\n> To: [email protected]; 'Steve Daniels'; [email protected]\n> Subject: RE: [amsat-bb] Re: volunteering (Mobile Satellite \n> PAPER Predictor)\n> \n> Actually, There is another similar WEB page project That does \n> the same thing for ALL mobile operators, Not just those with \n> APRS displays. It is simpler And only has a single TEXT output:\n> \n> Please see the idea on this web page:\n> http://www.aprs.org/MobileLEOtracking.html\n> \n> PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Develop a web page that any amateur radio \n> operator can go to that will print out this very simple PAPER \n> tracking device. It is just a piece of paper with 5 columns \n> for each of 5 days, and on each of those five days, the TIME \n> of the best overhead pass for that users local area (morning \n> and evening). For ECHO (AO51) this simple piece of paper \n> with 10 times on it can be used for SHOWING the pass times of \n> ALL morning and evening passes for the next 2 or 3 months! \n> \n> You don't need no stinkin computer to always know when AO51 \n> is overhead while you are mobile! Just look at the TIME on \n> the paper for today's date. (ECHO's pass times repeat every 5 \n> days)... Each other satellite has similar REPEATABILITY. \n> Just pring one of these slips of papwer for your favorite \n> satellite, and you will never need to do a prediciton again, \n> yet, will always hve what you need in the car to predict each \n> day's pass times.\n> \n> Bob, WB4APR\n> \n> \n> \n> \n> > -----Original Message-----\n> > From: [email protected]\n> > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert\n> Bruninga\n> > Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 12:56 PM\n> > To: 'Steve Daniels'; [email protected]\n> > Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: volunteering (Mobile Satellite\n> Predictor)\n> > \n> > > I would like to volunteer to help out in whatever \n> capacity I can.
