A real-time ish as in non actionable but rather a past tense indicator the usage of LEO satellites is pass audio/waterfall data available through the satnogs network (network.satnogs.org). If you wanted satellite transponder awareness in realtime, I'd recommend an omnidirecditonal antenna and brewing your own software suite for it, though that's probably a bit ambitious. QO-100, which is a GEO transponder much like the OSCAR-0 (the moon) has a web SDR in Europe that gives real-time actionable information about the usage of the narrowband transponder for SSTV, SSB, CW, Data, and the like. They even have a PSK net. Unfortunately, I see you're in FM03 and the USA gets basically no use of QO-100 whose footprint barely covers some of Brazil. Skeds tend to be orchestrated via this listserv or oftentimes discord (Amsat or r/amateurradio or even HRCC's Flying Space Radio Channel), but I'm unaware of an integrated chat/sked coordination service for amateur satcom.

Newbie here. Apologies in advance for asking about what may be common knowledge, but if I'm asking here it is because at least two operators have told me they don't know the answer to my question.
So, does the satellite community have a web page for real-time activity info and communication like Ping Jockey for Meteor Scatter ( https://www.pingjockey.net/cgi-bin/pingtalk/) or the ON4KST chat for EME ( http://www.on4kst.info/chat/index.php)?
Thanks and 73, Barry K6RM FM03vx
