[amsat-bb] Re: Software must have list

[Greg D]

Actually, the first thing I install on a new computer is Linux 
(OpenSuse, usually), then put Windows in the virtual machine, if I need it.

But, to Drew's question, consider APRSIS32 for APRS use. There's even 
some satellite tracking capability, so you know what other APRS stations 
are within a satellite's footprint.

Also, FLDIGI sound-card digital software, and MMSSTV for slow-scan TV. 
Oh, and the AO-27 schedule prediction software.

Enjoy the new computer; I'm looking to do the same soon. Mine is getting 
senile (forgetting it has one of the disks)...
