Hi Bill,

Although I have the rig and antenna to do it, I've never worked the sats, 
but have listened to them a few times.

You can go to this link and get an e-mail  either weekly or several times a 
week that will  let you  know when a particular sat (or more than one) will 
be overhead at your qth.   You need to tell them  your location and what 
sats you want to track:

As for other modes, I've been working some RTTY over the  past year and a 
half.  Several hundred QSO's and around 100 countries.  Using JAWS and MMTTY 
software.

You can get JAWS to read   calls correctly by  going into configuration 
manager/text processing and under " spell alpha numeric data" select " spell 
phonetically".

This was added to JAWS a few versions back, but don't remember what version 
it was added, so if running an older version you won't see this option.
