ARLA/CLUSTER: OSCAR Locator App by Tom Doyle W9K

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

*Tom Doyle W9KE* has developed a Windows satellite tracking App that
reproduces the graphical display of the original cardboard OSCARLOCATOR


Most tracking programs use an equirectangular projection which is by far
the easiest to program and shows the entire Earth at once. A 3D model is
often used which helps visualize orbits but does not show the entire Earth
at the same time.

Tom remembers having an easier time visualizing the orbits back in the day
(1970's) when amateurs used cardboard Oscar Locators with overlays. This
Windows program lets you visualize orbits Oscar Locator style.

You can download the OSCAR Locator from
