Since I have found it easy to implement and it makes QSOs much easier to maintain I am curious why computer controlled Doppler correction is not used by all stations. Are there some radios still in use that do not have the capability for computer control?

Hi Ed....
Just speaking for some of us Luddites, the thrill and challenge of a "pure" QSO, maybe with just CW, is part of the experience. I suppose I could get my computer to run consecutive QSOs, doppler tune, voice track, log, post my log in LOTW etc, but that is not what I enjoy.
My opinion is that "I did it myself" applies to computer "programming," and to satellite operation seperately.
I will reward you on your accomplishments, but reserve the right to set my own goals.
That said...anyone want to try AM through AO-7? hihi

Roger,
Where do you find the equator crossing times for your Oscarlocator since W1AW doesn't broadcast them any more ;-)
