Re: Information Request
Al,
The Satellite is "ARRISat-1" It is NOT on NOVA as a standard. You must download the new keps and add this satellite to your favorites. As of this time, there are no keps for ARRISat-1 yet. It is closely following the ISS presently.
You should switch to SATPC32 available at the AMSAT website for purchase since this is the program AMSAT supports.. Join AMSAT too! Satellites don't get in orbit by wishful thinking- Help us support your operating pleasure and Join AMSAT. There is also a donation widget on the website to give to the cause.
73,
Dee, NB2F

You should switch to Orbitron. It's free and you don't have to pay for it. http://www.stoff.pl/

And you and Nigel should feel guilty about using the sats that others contribute to and support- Try putting up your own...Don't know what beef you have against those that are trying to get better sats in orbit, but if you continue to omit and not support the facts that they cost money and NEED support, so goes that end of the hobby...I for one, do not wish for this to happen- Different discussion.

So what you're saying is that I should use Windows, even though I don't want to? I did not know that it was mandatory to use a certain OS in order to use the satellites. I also did not know that purchasing a piece of software was the only way to support AMSAT. Shame on me :)
I was just making a suggestion not based on the fact that it's free of charge (re-read my mail) but based on the fact that Gpredict supports other platforms as Windows.
And no, I don't feel guilty about not using Windows for my shack PC while I'm typing this on my Mac.
Have a lovely day.

I forwarded the request for information to Dee. Dee provided accurate information to the individual. There is no reason to "pick" on him for trying to inform this individual of other alternates and, raise money for AMSAT. We do depend on memberships, donations, etc for our survival. We receive no grants or funds from other sources. If you believe in what we are doing, then support AMSAT. If not, do not pick on the messenger.

Martha,
I don't think anybody has any problems with supporting AMSAT (ok, maybe some have but there will be always nay sayers :) ). The messenger got picked upon because of the way the message was delivered. Evangelizing AMSAT is perfectly fine and it's great that Dee is passionate about doing so. But that wasn't the issue. At least not for me.
It's great that with the purchase of Satpc funds go to AMSAT. AFAIK the same is true for Macdoppler which is also listed on the AMSAT website. It's just this ignorance of other platforms than Windows that irked me. And then of course the assumption that just because someone suggests a different tool that the same person is against supporting AMSAT. Two completely different things thrown into one bucket.
Namaste

No guilt. I paid for InstantTrack, Quicktrack 4 and The Station long before many current operators were born, have been a life member of Amsat-NA since 1975 and a member of Amsat UK when I lived there. I must admit, I haven't made a donation to Amsat-NA since this years Hamvention. I guess that makes me tight fisted.

Nigel, I only said that to give the hundreds of people that get copied on this BB to Be mindful that satellites are not put into orbit by the good graces of commercial entities. It takes some donations. Now, I do not tell everyone what to do (as accused) but we must become aware that getting this satellite in orbit took many hours of construction and sacrifice by our volunteers. I am a life member too. I do give every chance I can- If I sell something on Ebay, I donate something to the cause. I am a NJ coordinator and have spent many hours at hamfests and gave many demo's and talks to the ham community. I just don't want the AMSAT community to forget why we exist. I am also at the booth at the hamvention and love to discuss membership ideas and necessary ways to export my enthusiasm. Let's enjoy the sats in place and look for the future to get more up there. 73, Dee, NB2F
