I don't know all that I need to know about the program yet. That is one thing my old pgm would do. It would give you data on visible passes several days in advance. I'm still trying to figure out all of the features of this pgm.

Brrrr.... That's getting pretty cool for us southern boys. Lowest it's been here so far is 45 last week, back in the low 50's this morning. Running the AC in the afternoons. We're suppose to get some rain here about Friday, so it will warm up again.

I couldn't sleep last night, so I was up late listening to a friend on 3.835 MHz. Seventy-five meters was in good shape. I read somewhere, maybe ARRL, where some of the a m broadcast stations in the 40 meter band were moving. They sure have. I don't hear the hetrodynes in the General portion of the band like I have for years. 40 meters may be usable at night for a change. I'm going to have to start listening there to see what sort of propagation there is. I'm not much for chasing DX, I enjoy 40 and 75.
