Thanks for the "Upcoming Satellite Operations" page!
I want to thank Paul N8HM for adding the "Upcoming Satellite Operations" page to the AMSAT website. Thanks to the information there I was able to watch for (and work) HH2/N2IEN for an 'all time new one' on satellite. I've added the page to my browser book mark bar.
Let's continue to encourage Dxpeditions to nearby (LEO range) entities to take along satellite gear!

Thanks, Grant. I am glad you find it useful.
This is very much a 1.0 version of the page and I plan to add some more features in the future.
The past couple of months have seen quite a bit of activity from DX entities rarely heard on the satellites. Let's hope it keeps up.

Paul, N8HM

Hi!

Your page has also reported on upcoming non-DX satellite activity from different grid locators in the USA. This is a good thing. That sort of activity can drum up more activity just as much as someone operating from a small island or a ship on the high seas. It's nice to see all that in one place, and not have to read about domestic activity in one place and foreign activity somewhere else.
Thanks again, and 73!

Agree with Patrick. While I'm certainly interested in pursuing DX on satellites, it's the grid expeditions I'm really tracking. Doesn't matter much to me if they are domestic or foreign... A new grid is a new grid.
Another request: please include the state activated, too....some of us are still pursuing WAS....or at least WAS except Hawaii.
Thanks for the great site.
