WXSat Software new Version 2.55 released 31 Jul 1999 now available

An interesting and simple Satellite Tracker called LE SATELLITE FRANCAIS (LSF)

Radek Vaclavik OK2XDX has developed a very small receiver for Meteosat. He has published it on the QSL Net

• WXSAT for Windows 3.1/95 using the soundblaster card to receive APT (AM) and HF Fax (FM)

• I have uploaded 2 WAV files (MET35.WAV and METEO_SAT.WAV) for use with the WXSat program. You will find them at ftp://kestrel.umd.edu/pub/wxsat/incoming Other files will coming soon. With thanks to Scott Gennari who spent me the space on the ftp server.

• Radek Vaclavik OK2XDX has developed a very simple downconverter for Meteosat. He has published it on the QSL Net from here you can download also some Meteosat WAV files.

• 137 MHz Turnstile Antenna Design

• Les Hamilton, UK has launched a new Satellite tracking program called Footprint.
  Footprint is program which displays the positions of an orbiting satellite and its footprint on a map of the Earth, updating its position and footprint every minute.
  The program can also provide reference tables of relevant ephemeris, A.O.S. and keplerian element data.
  The program reads satellites' orbital elements from keplerian element files in standard NASA 2-line format, specifically filtering out only those satellites belonging to the following classes :
  NOAA, USA; Meteor Okean and Resurs, Russia; Sich, Ukraine.
  Download your copy of Footprint from Les Hamiltonīs Home Page.

• On May 05 1998 I have received the first APT Image from Meteosat 7, it was disseminated via Meteosat 6 channel 1 at 0823 UTC.
  I have decoded this Image with JVComm32 and EasyDSP. For download go to Weekly Picture.
