I've been a Linux user since 1994, but I still use Windows (running on my Linux box under Win4Lin) occasionally to run such things as W6ELPROP and EZNEC, and more often to run Quicken. I used a Windows 98 laptop to run QRPDUPE during the CQWW. For hams interested in Linux, I highly recommend Debian or SuSe, since there are hams involved in the development of both and they both include a variety of ham radio programs in the distribution.

I have, to date, not been able to run any of the ham radio software for "unix" on my BSD systems -- I've looked mostly at PSK-31 software myself. The main reason is that while I'm a BSD bigot, the lion's share of those who write "unix" ham software are linux bigots --- and they are not, as far as I can tell, interested in making *portable* code, just code that works. BSD and Linux differ enough at the low level interfaces (sound card, serial ports) that it takes a little doing to get the code so that it doesn't make assumptions about the system you're on, and take account of the differences. You could, with enough programming background and time, hack them up to work on BSD, but it is unlikely that many of the packages will compile and link "out of the box." The good news is that they're all open source, so you could, if so inclined, hack on them. I've heard gripes from folks in other forums that although you might feed back your hackage to the maintainers of the packages, odds are good that the next release will break them all again. -- Tom Russo KM5VY QRPL #1592 K2#398 http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM DM64ux SOC #236 ICQ#97201722 http://www.qsl.net/~km5vy/ If I can't make your day a little better, at least I can make it more surreal. -- Anmar Mirza ++++++++++++++++++++ Subject: Announcing PREDICT Version 2.2.0 Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2002 13:27:46 -0700 (PDT) From: "John A. Magliacane" To: linux-hams at vger.kernel.org Hello Everyone. PREDICT version 2.2.0 has been released. This version contains significant internal changes including the adoption of SGP4/SDP4 orbital models, support for a satellite transponder database, and a completely revised Single Satellite Tracking mode that provides detailed uplink and downlink frequencies (properly compensated for Doppler shift) that are required for successful communication via OSCAR satellites. (You can now "tune" across a transponder using the keyboard to equate a particular downlink signal to the required uplink frequency.) Many of the other functions of the program were allowed to successfully remain intact. The CHANGES file provides more details, and reads as follows: Release 2.2.0: (a.k.a. The Columbus Day Release) By John A. Magliacane (12-Oct-2002): * PREDICT's satellite tracking algorithm was replaced by a more precise model based on a port of Dr. TS Kelso's SGP4/SDP4 Pascal routines to 'C' by Neoklis Kyriazis, 5B4AZ. * PREDICT now imports, exports, and permits editing of TLE element set numbers, International Designators, and Bstar and nddot/6 drag terms in addition to all the remaining orbital data found in a two-line element set. * Earthtrack was modified so that when multi-tracking satellites, range circles are displayed 5 minutes prior to AOS through LOS. * Maximum allowable callsign length was increased to 15 characters to permit groundstation names to be used in place of 6 character callsigns. * Vocalizer will no longer send audio to the soundcard if the soundcard cannot be set to the proper sampling rate and word size. * The Single Tracking mode was completely redesigned to allow interactive selection of satellite transponder, provide real-time Doppler-compensated uplink and downlink frequency information, and support for a transponder database. Spacecraft antenna squint angle, propagation delay, echo, and satellite eclipse depth information are also now available. See the NEWS file for additional information. * Orbital predictions now report squint angles instead of orbit numbers if ALAT/ALON data is available in the transponder database. * A Visual BASIC Windows-based client application has been contributed by Steve Fraser, VK5ASF. Steve also contributed some small coding changes that allow PREDICT to be successfully invoked by rc.local upon startup. * Bent Bagger, OZ6BL, contributed a small change to get_response() in the client demo.c program. The modification recognizes the absence of a PREDICT server, and displays an appropriate error message. The previous method set an alarm and waited for a timeout to occur. * A bug in the configure script was fixed. * Lots of other small coding changes were made. Further details are available at: http://www.qsl.net/kd2bd/predict.html Enjoy the program! 73, de John, KD2BD ===== -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- John A.

My logs are kept in Postgres. I got the idea after playing with the CLX Cluster software, a couple of years ago, which also uses Postgres as a database. I cooked up a set of Bash and Perl script for entering and extracting data easily, without having to deal with SQL. It works pretty well..I keep the ZL9CI and ZL7C DXPN logs in it, too.

Satellite Selector ================== I have replaced the standard 'select a satellite by letter' with some code to present the list of satellites by a scrolling menu. This way the program is capable of handling more satellites. I concatenated all the TLE files that I could find and had the program running with 938 satellites, but have since set a more practical limit of 250. The new selector is used by the 'P', 'V', 'S', 'T', 'E' and 'D' main menu options. The selector displays the Satellite name and designator from the TLE data for each satellite. Single Track Display ==================== You can use the up/down arrow keys on the keypad in addition to the '<' and '>' to control the transponder frequencies. The left/right arrows wil step forwards/backwards through the satellites. (there is a buggette here which shows up when you move to a satellite that is not in predict.db which appears with transponder frequencies but no labels from the previous satellite - to be fixed soon) Multiple Track Display ====================== This is where a lot of changes are visible. In the standard code, this display was only capable of displaying 24 satellites at once whether they are above or below the horizon.i With a list of the next three upcoming passes. I looked at this from another angle, and put the satellites above the horizon at the top, and the use a sorted list of the remainder below that. This has left the program with more space for other details. I have added an extra decimal point to the 'Azimuth' and 'Elevation' columns, and three extra columns: Satellite Altitude, Ascending/Descending indicator '/' '=' '\', and Next AOS/LOS. The Sub-Satellite point can be toggled using the 'l' and 'm' keys between: Latitude and Longitude Maidenhead Locator The Satellite Altitude and Range distance units can be toggled using the 'k' and 'i' keys between: Imperial (miles) Kilometres The defaults are 'Maidenhead Locator' and distances displayed in 'Miles' (as I still think in miles :-)) On the left of the multitrack display you will find: Home QTH (data from ~/.predict/predict.qth) Sun Position Moon Position and Control keys ('i', 'k', 'l', 'm' and 'q') The Azimuth/Elevation for the Sun and Moon change in colour whether above or below the horizon. I have played around with some colour coding of the block of satellites that appear in the first section, to try and make the display a bit more readable with a casual glance. The satellites farthest away show up as blue on white, then black on white, then black on cyan, then blue on yellow, then with the closest as white on red, The colours are based on a combination of satellite altitude and ranges, and may sound odd at first but gets easier to understand when you have watched the display for a while. Other Changes ============= There are lots of minor cosmetic changes to other parts of the program, including a new Daynum2String function that can handle almost any format of date output. The length of an X-window can be adjusted dynamically, which is useful with the Calendar and MultiTrack displays. You can see some screenshots and download my modified copy of Predict 2.2.1 at: http://voyager.mcc.ac.uk/Predict/ If you find any bugs in this version that don't exist in the standard version, then pester me to get them fixed, and not KD2BD who has enough on his plate producing excellent software for me to play around with.

So what is UKW Tools ? UKW Tools is a kind of Goegraphic Information System (GIS) for radio amateurs. Taking elevation data that is freely available on the Internet, the program includes a suite of different funtions that allow you to visualise radio paths and locations. I suggest that you look on my web site http://www.qsl.net/g4klx under Software and have a look at screen shots for more information, but briefly, the current functions are: 3D Map: Produces a map centred on a location that shows the topography around it. The colours may be changed, the viewing angle may be changed as can the type of projection used. Horizon View: Plots the elevations of the surrounding obstacles as viewed from a site, an indication of their elevations and distance is given. Show Map: Displays a map centred on a location with different colours used to denote heights. Moving the mouse over the map will result in information about the location below the mouse (locator and elevation). The colours may be changed. Terrain: Given two locations the program will show the line of sight path between them. In many ways this is the most interesting function. The K (essentially the tropo conditions) value may be changed and when the mouse is over the disgram some data about the location pointed to will be shown. There are two functions, Local Map and View which have not been implemented yet. UKW Tools 0.01 was released a little while ago but not announced because it was a premature release to allow some operators to check their sites. UKW Tools is written in C++ and makes use of the platform independent wxWindows toolkit and it is possible that it could be built on Windows as well as Linux.
