Hello,
I see many entries on Amsat-bb showing just yourself aboard a satellite.
A while ago, we have implemented in South America a web page that helps people get in touch through the birds.
It is easy to log a contact and allows other people to see where and when activity is or will be.
It also sends email to log reporters of last activity entry, also allows contact each other for a particular log.
Although it is in Spanish, think you can see how easy and straightforward it is, just one screen and no previous registering.
This function helped since availability to quite increase South America satellite activity.
You can see online at http://lu7aa.org.ar/log.html or http://amsat.org.ar?f=z
Perhaps an application like this in Amsat-NA could help avoid unpopulated passes in your area.
