Ground Station Calculator
Hi John,
While rummaging through my garage looking for old tracking programs for Paul N8HM, I found Orbit magazine from May/June 1983. In it is an article by Hasan N0AN called AO-10 Ground Station Analysis. You can use Hasan’s equations to calculate your ground station performance. I’ve put the equations into a spreadsheet with the numbers for your home station. The article and spreadsheet are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rvb80ajqcpkc47x/AAAHKhwYaI8UkwBR9sx0fw6Fa?dl=0
Best wishes for the new year and 73,
Terry Osborne ZL2BAC

Hello Terry,
You might let Phil Karn know about that issue. He's been on a mission to digitally preserve the old issues.

AMSAT already has a digital copy of this issue in our AMSAT Journal Archive DVD (sold out for a couple of years). There has been talk of, but a lack of an able-bodied volunteer, to refresh and re-release an updated DVD archive to the AMSAT Store.
