more about it?

John:

I'm glad you have SatPC32. You have made a contribution to AMSAT and AMSAT
thanks you.

I picked up SatPC32 at the AMSAT booth at Dayton and have it running on both
a Windows 7 64 both machine and an XP 32 bit machine. It works well on both.

Possibly, after you get your license, you will become interested in
satellite operation. SatPC32 will help greatly with that.

Any help I can give, I will give it a try.
