I need some advice, and I promise to be grateful.
Trying to work a sked tonight with Jeff W4EB on EO-88 and yours truly made a series of newbie mistakes.
Since becoming involved in satellites, I’ve always relied on the “Countdown” program within SatPC32 to let me know what passes were coming up at my location.
Tonight I learned that I’ve been missing God knows how many passes per day! The Countdown software will only display one (1) upcoming pass for a given satellite at your location until that satellite has disappeared from view.
In the case of EO-88, I actually had two passes overhead about an hour apart, but only knew about the first one.
Strictly Windows 10 PC in the shack. What’s the best tool to use to help me visualize ALL the upcoming passes for the next twelve hours or so at my location. I love the Countdown format, just want to be able to see multiple passes from the same birds.
P.S. The other newbie mistake was forgetting to switch my antenna back to the IC-910H after doing an APRS pass earlier on the D-710. DUH! I really need to invest in an IC-9700.
Thanks Jeff for your patience.
