Andrew,
Rotator controller: DDE is provided for your client such as PST Rotator.
Doppler shift: Yes, for both the SDR (of course) and an external radio used
for transmit (TS-2000, IC-910, FT-991 ...).
Satellite priority: You select the passes you are interested in for the next
96 hours.

It would be nice if outdated pages are marked as such. This has been
voiced before.
However, I do not have the time to offer to fix such things so I hold my
tongue. I prefer only to criticize if I have a suggestion and the
ability to make such things better.
If the state of the website offends you so, why not ask how you can help
to make it better?

Good morning,
I am planning to walk to Benjamin Banneker Park just down the street from
me for the 1742Z pass of FO-29, which covers all of North America. Benjamin
Banneker Park is owned and administered by the National Park Service as
part of the National Capital Parks system, designated as DZ05 for the ARRL
NPOTA event.
Look for me around 435.865 MHz +/- Doppler.
73,
Paul, N8HM

Paul,
Thanks for putting another Washington-area NPOTA site on the satellites
this morning/afternoon! You were pretty close to that spot on the FO-29
transponder, and easy to hear. I heard you work KO4MA just before I made
my call. After you worked me, I counted 13 more QSOs before LOS
for me - and probably you, too. Did you work others before I heard you
work Drew? This was another NPOTA activation done on one satellite
pass, and you weren't on an FM pass. Great job!
73!

Hello all,
Following are the updated TLE's for Pratham, please note the identifiers
of the satellite are not yet given to us and thus we are using 9's to
represent these.
