I think MacLoggerDX might do that, from Dog Park Software, the people who provide MacDoppler too.
http://www.dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX.html
It has log fields for Elevation, Satellite & Azimuth.
I would guess MacDoppler is supposed to interface to it via AppleScript.
worth looking at http://www.dogparksoftware.com/mdpxgateway.html, just because it's so cool
