The program will then show \nyou the time of apogee and the satellites's position at that time. With \nWinListen calculate (for a longer period) the times at which the satellite \nis in range for you and look at the MA values. Currently the apogee \nposition of FO-29 is far away from your location (over Antarctica). This \nposition changes very slowly.\n\nRegarding your yesterday's question (antenna direction calibration). With \nSuMListen you can calculate very precisely the time at which the Sun is \nexactly in the South for your location (that is not 12.00 local time, for \nexample it is 12.30:40 CET for my location today). The elevation 0 of the \nantenna can be calibrated with a spirit level. .\n\nA \"software solution\" to calibrate your antenna: With program SuM (menu \n\"Rotor\" you can correct azimut and elevation of the antenna until it points \nexactly to the Sun. SuM doesn't provide to store the correction values but \nyou can store the found values with SatPC32 (menu \"Rotor\"). They will then \nbe used also by SuM at next program start.\n\n73s, Erich, DK1TB\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Bob- W7LRD\" <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Monday, July 15, 2013 7:32 PM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] apogee prediction?\n\n\n> Hello (again)...Is there a way (program) that one can predict when the \n> apogee of a given satellite will favor a given grid square?
