Hi Folks,
I have recently been following AO-91 with a selection of tracking programs
and confirming
the results with observations of the downlink.
Using the same QTH location and Keps, I found the following:
The AMSAT-NA online tracking page is pretty accurate. See:
https://www.amsat.org/track/index.php
Heavens-above.com is also pretty good. See: https://www.heavens-above.com
SatPC32, Orbitron, InstantTrack, and Quiktrak are pretty good and give the
same results as the ?On-Line? trackers.
Nova is about 5 minutes ahead.
GPredict is about 5 minutes behind.
Has anyone else noticed this?
73,
Terry Osborne ZL2BAC

I've never worked AO-91, so I can't comment on that. I run Gpredict
on a Linux ThinkPad and i found that it's been accurate for satellites
such as FO-29.

Make sure the keps are updated, Aldo the clock but I assume they are
running on the same computer so that is unlikely to be a problem.

Nova has two algorithms for computing the location of the satellites. Try
the other algorithm.

I've noticed a bit of sneakiness tracking AO-91 with Nova. I find I'm
several minutes off once or twice a year. The main symptom is a weak
downlink from AO-91 since the antenna is aimed at a spot in the sky which is
not on time.
What I've found is somehow Nova has 2 or 3 instances of AO-91 in the table
where you choose the satellites to add to the tracking view. None of the
other satellites have multiple instances. What I need to do is to select
each instance of AO-91 and keep only the one that accurately matches the
other resources you can compare with.

Hi folks,
i get an issue on the SATPC32 program.
Today i had two satellites in the range at about the same time GO-32 and
Equisat.
Go-32 come up first and about 5 minutes i got the Equisat one.
So i decided to abbandon the GO-32 and track the Equisat.
I clicked on the letter that shows me the Equisat, the program passed from
GO-32 to Equista but immediately after it passed again to track the GO-32.
Please how to do to track the bird what i want when there are two or more
satellites at the same time?
Thanks

I created a new satellite group containing the three NOAA APT satellites.
The group was (I think) successfully created. I can re-start the program
and it's still there.
Now I want to use it with WinAOS to see when they are passing over. I open
WinAOS and click on the Sat. Groups button in the dialog box to pick my
group but it's not listed there.
Section E.2 - WinAOS of the online manual is only 2 lines long and says
nothing about how to import new satellite groups into its list. It does
say "Please read the instructions" except I can find no other instructions.
Help!

Ken,
Out of curiosity why don't you just use the Group "NOAA" that comes
standard with SatPC32 instead of making a new group with the same
satellites?

Hi Dave,
Same problem. I see the group called Weather (mine doesn't have a NOAA
group) in SatPC32, and it has the 3 satellites I'm interested in. But when
I run WinAOS and select a sat group the list has Weather1 and Weather2,
neither of which is the same as the Weather group in SatPC32!
It's very frustrating, and the documentation is inadequate.
Thanks anyway,
Ken

Pedro,
While I respect that your keen to push the amsat.org.ar pass tool, I
have noticed you seem to post it to every thread when it's not
relevant making it no more than spam. I appreciate your keen to market
it but keep to topic.

Why not just make up your own groups like I did....
Edit one of the existing .SAT groups to your liking, then rename and save as
a xxx.SAT. There in the users xxxx AppData Roaming SatPC32 directory...
Easy peasy...

Hi Dave,
Same problem. I see the group called Weather (mine doesn't have a NOAA
group) in SatPC32, and it has the 3 satellites I'm interested in. But when
I run WinAOS and select a sat group the list has Weather1 and Weather2,
neither of which is the same as the Weather group in SatPC32!
It's very frustrating, and the documentation is inadequate.
Thanks anyway,
Ken
