NEWSFLASH ! New WxSat software discovery. I know, I'm a bit slow....
"wxtoimg" from New Zealand. (Land of the Long White Cloud). I reckon it could be the best thing since sliced bread. Absolutely AMAZING SOFTWARE.
It features functional overlays and a plethora of amazing stuff. Congratulations and many thanks to those responsible for its creation and release to the public.
NEW..........3D Satellite Telemetry rendered images by VK3UKF..........NEW
Hello to Marty, N9SQQ in Illinois U.S.A., my first 2m FM contact using IRLP.
I would like to thank the amateur radio community in central Victoria for encourageing and educating me and a few mentions for those that probably don't deserve a mention but you know.
Thanks to Chris, VK3CJS who has lent me his converted Philips FM 828 and pre-amp for APT. I've made a project of copying and documenting his conversion and will post it on a web page when done.
Come back soon as this site is new and under construction. Free software for Amateurs written by VK3UKF is now available for download.
Thanks also to the other people that helped make all this possible, NOAA, the Americans, Meteor, the Russians and the folk that write great software for tracking satellites and decoding the signals from space. WxSat by Christian H. Bock, is used for recording telemetry and initial observations and SatSignal by David Taylor, is used for colour image processing. Winorbit by C.D. Gregory K8CG, is the satellite tracking software I prefer.
This Webpage is a test to see if there is enough interest to warrant continued posting of images received here at VK3UKF, Castlemaine in central Victoria.
Please send me an e-mail and tell me that there is. Kevin, VK3UKF
