I remember the hf nets as THE watering hole, water cooler, what have you... for AMSAT Oscar news. Yes, copying the elements by hand (it seemed the QRN knew exactly when to crash, and I hoped to get it all on the repeat from the west coast net, because I wasn't licensed to ask for a fill). When I first discovered Amateur Radio Satellites, personal computers consisted of the trs-80, sinclair, and a few others. The Apple II was right out due to price, and the others were a stretch to my teenage budget. The Oscar Locator was my computer of choice, and worked quite well with the ascending node data. Time marches on... Rich, N8UX _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
