Hi, Thanks for all the positive feedback I received on the SimpleSat Look Down program. It is very rewarding to share something with the satellite community and have it well received.
I have been informed by the AMSAT administration that my YouTube video and the 'SimpleSat Look Down' program is in violation of one or more of their rule(s). To comply with their requirements I have modified the program and shot and uploaded a new YouTube video. The new version of the program has been uploaded to the web site and the website now links to the new YouTube video. To keep within the Spirit of the AMSAT regulations I think it would be best if all those who downloaded the 'SimpleSat Look Down' program destroy any copies they may have of the program then download and use only the new version. Don't worry, the program has not changed much. I do not want anyone else to get in trouble with the AMSAT administration. The new YouTube video looks great in full screen HD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYUmiUDr6YA You can download the new AMSAT compliant version of the program on the website. http://www.tomdoyle.org/simplesatlookdown The only remaining problem is the page on the AMSAT-UK web site they so kindly put up has a direct link to the offending YouTube video. Unfortunately YouTube does not allow any changes to a video once it has been uploaded. As a result I had to upload the new video and this resulted in a new link address. Since I had to delete the illegal video there is now a dead link on the AMSAT-UK page. Sorry but there is no other way to do it. http://www.uk.amsat.org/7831 None of this is a big deal. Have fun. 73 de W9KE Tom Doyle _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
