To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
The reply function wouldn't work, so I'll just post this:
AMSAT offers a tracking program that will give you MA (phase) for a satellite
as a function of time. It is called Instantrack and costs $70 for members and
somewhat more for non-members.
MA is the satellite orbit phase in units from 0 to 256 which corresponds to
0 to 360 deg. One orbit is MA 256 or 360 deg. (180 deg. = MA 128 and so on.)
The program also tells you the mode (if you keep the schedule updated.)
Looking forward to a QSO with you on AO-10 or AO-13.

Instead of picking up the 300 page book, you should have gotten
the excellent AMSAT publication on how to use amateur radio
satellites. AO-13 is primarily a random QSOs bird, and an excellent
choice for trans-continental communications. You will need a dual
band (2 meter 70 cm.) all mode (e.g. SSB) tranceiver with a directional
antenna system. Check out my previous posts for information on the
handbook and AMSAT's address for ordering
