HAM is for the discussion of amateur radio in all of its forms.

By your participation in this echo, you agree to the following rules:

* Real names are required to be used in this echo. No aliases. If
your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and
alias in the message header, sign your message with your real name.

* All messages must be in English. You may post a message in your native
language as long as an English translation accompanies the native
post in the same message.

* No blatently off-topic posts such as BBS ads, "test" messages,
et cetera.

* Any traffic concerning Fidonet matters, such as alleged "echo
hijackings", complaints about other echoes and their moderators,
or any traffic construed as such by the moderators is OFF-TOPIC.
Absolutely none of that is allowed in this echo and violators will
be dealt with swiftly. Please take such discussion to netmail or
another appropriate echo.

* Be civil and have a sense of humor.

* Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS
mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else
without the moderator's express and written permission. This is
a Fidonet echo and needs to stay in Fidonet.

* This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policies
such as EP1. This echo originates in Zone 1 and follows Zone 1 policies
concerning the "echolist".

* The moderator has the final say in dealing with problems in the echo.
If you have something to say about a moderator's action, please
contact them via netmail (preferred) or email.

* This is a living document and will be adjusted as needed.

* This document will be posted on the 1st and 15th of each month and
when needed.

* Please don't hesitate to contact the moderators with any questions.

Thank you for your participation in HAM!

go here: https://www.heavens-above.com/

create an account and put in your location... the rest should
be self-explanatory ;)

I wanted the time, not how to buikd a clock. ;-)

-=B-)

I use the iOS app Sky Guide. It knows where I am and gives me a 15
minute heads up...

heaven's above may have an iOS app... i forget... either way, it (and several others) are strictly satellite tracking sites... there are, of course, local apps that can be run, too... especially for HAM operators working satellites... gpredict is one or those that is ok... it is going through some updates related to radio control... it can/will turn your antenna and switch freqs on your radio when working a satellite...

i used to use the old STSPlus for ground tracks and listing sats with upcoming view chances... currently i'm using gpredict on linux in place of STSPlus but it just isn't the same...

they're good but i also want one that shows the sky view from my location with the sat's path so i will know exactly which sat i'm seeing flying over... in that end, i'm using stellarium which is an astronomy program first... but my current setup for all of these is nothing like what i had on my OS/2 system before Hurricane Florence blew through here and mucked things up :|

at this time, i have to find it, though... not sure were it
has gotten off to... it is a heathkit receiver that we
built... but gotta find it first... otherwise only the
stuff that streams on the 'net is available...

No CW required to get a license anymore, OM. :D I think you'd make a fine addition to the hobby.
