Introducing the Satellite FAQ and How-To wiki
The main content so far:
= What apps can I use to track satellites? = * http://sats.wikidot.com/what-apps-can-i-use-to-track-satellites * A table of Android/iOS mobile apps with supported/not supported checkmarks for various features. I don't have iOS so I had to put question marks on a lot of features for those apps. * If you know the status of the features let me know off list, or I can add you to the wiki so you can edit it yourself.
= How do you know when the ISS is transmitting SSTV? = * http://sats.wikidot.com/how-do-you-know-when-the-iss-is-transmitting-sstv * Includes instructions on how to setup email notifications on the RSS feed of ariss-sstv.blogspot.com website using blogtrottr so you can be emailed when new events are announced.
= How do you add 2 meter only digipeaters to SatPC32 = * http://sats.wikidot.com/how-do-you-add-add-2-meter-only-digipeaters-to-satpc... * I just added this based on an email from 2 hours ago
= How to create multiple profiles in GoSatWatch = * http://sats.wikidot.com/gosatwatch:multiple-profiles * You can create the equivalent of profiles in the GoSatWatch by cloning an element set then selecting only those satellites of interest. * Brad WF7T created this tutorial
Brad, WF7T and I started this wiki.The purpose is to document answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) across the various forums like amsat-bb, the AMSAT-NA Facebook group, twitter, QRZ.com forums, etc. How-Tos are also acceptable. The goal is not to be a comprehensive source of amateur satellite information (especially not lists of all the sats, as that info is on many other sources), just to supplement what is already out there and provide a place to collect commonly requested information. More information on the intention/philosophy of the wiki can be found here: http://sats.wikidot.com/about
If you want to add stuff or edit the wiki, please create an account on wikidot and let me or Brad know your username/email address and we can add you.
On the To-Do list [1] I have a goal to make a new page with a list of full duplex HTs. I know a list of these HTs already is on the web but I don't believe it's updated. I also know Patrick, WD9EWK has a lot of detailed info on various Chinese radios. All of this could be summarized and updated as new HTs come out. If you want to start it "that would be great." ;-)

You may want to add gPredict. It's great for us folks using GNU+Linux (though I manually fetch keps).
I'd add it myself but I'd rather not have one more stray account floating around the web.

I added it, as well as MacDoppler which wasn't on the list yet.
