Satellite tracking from multiple points/mutual window software
First of all, this is my very first time with a bulletin board mailing list.
I wrote some software a few months ago that I think could be valuable to the amateur radio satellite community. It allows for two or more points on the Earth to be specified, and it will find orbits that include all of the points. It’s available here: https://ham.scd31.com/ feel free to try it out.

Stephen,
I believe you posted this a while back on Reddit. I had commented at that point that this is an excellent tool, but the satellite list you are using does not appear to have been updated since around 2010. It also contains a lot of non-functional satellites and those not carrying any transponder. A better filtered and updated list of satellites could make this an extremely valuable resource.

I agree, It's Missing NO-84, for one bird I want to track. Plus un-like known web page based proven trackers. I right now after seeing the list like Paul says, makes me wonder when the last TLE was Up-Dated?
I LOVE the tiny and small Sat Look Down program to automatically find those Mutual windows for me. If it was not for that program, I never would have gotten Alaska on Oscar 7 Mode "A"
