After several years of not-so-active activity, I'm wanting to get back
into satellite communications. What are the commonly used programs for
tracking satellites there now?


I suspect that for simple tracking, folks are mostly using websites.

But if you want software that can also steer your antennas, AMSAT
sells some.

Hi, Patty, and thanks for the reply.

I *could* do it on a website, I guess - but would just rather do it on
my own laptop. I don't always have internet access when I'm looking
things up, i.e. out in the field somewhere where there isn't a hotspot
handy (Field Day is a great example).

But if it has to be web based, I can live with it. Any recommended sites?
