Hi Jackie,

It shows reports that other hams have made concerning receiving different satellites, and if the transponder is on or not.

Progress on 3rd week of beginning satellite hobby: (still reading and learning..)
Two HT's with homemade YAGI (2M and 70cm)
Learning to receive only first.
Received multiple passes of AO-91 and 92. Recorded voices and deciphered later, matching call signs and grid coordinates to make sure I heard correctly. Also, listened to NO-84 signal. So I confirm reception on both U and V.
I checked active status online for the following satellites but on trying to receive them, got nothing: KKS-1, TIGRISAT, FALCONSAT3, DELPHI C3, EO-88, DUCHIFAT1, and ISS (both 433.550 and 145.800).
Questions: Is there a place where hams could log their connections? If I knew that, for example, Falconsat3 was truly transmitting, then that would help.
Are there other "active" bird lists? (I used N2Y0)
