Craig, thanks and glad to hear that you have be able to get on the satellite from watching the videos. My PSK31 series is also very popular. Randy

On the right side of the screen you will see a LOAD TLE button. Select the Amateur file and you should then be able to select AO-51. Randy

Randy and all: This is a great series of videos, full of great information. After 35 years of ham radio, nobody ever showed me or even talked about "how-to" for satellite QSO's. I thought it was too difficult. Randy made it easy to understand and I'm having a blast. I got on the air and made several contacts this weekend on A0-51 and A0-27. Thanks Randy. You are a true "Elmer" to thousands of hams. Hope we can have a QSO someday. Craig WB0GFZ
