I am not surprised as when I looked at this there were extraneous
characters in the link. This is due to the ikers and my mail program
incompatibility contesting.
I like the links to the various satellites though some do seem to be
outdated. They also have a visual display with a map and earth tracks
for the various birds which is interesting.
Now If I could find the real-time lightning strike for CONUS I would
be grateful.
For others I have heard the Shuttle on the first ham radio flight in
1983 with w5lfl on the bird on a Tempo S1 T sitting at my desk at QWEST
on the 3rd floor of a 11 floor building in downtown Boise with s9 plus
signals on a rubber duck. It is truly amazing what you can hear from
the various satellites.
I have passing followed this since in University at Moscow Idaho using
everything from homemade Suttle on lighting turnstile antennas to ez-al
arrays with stacked log periodic. Great fun.
Thank you!
