Yep, if the bird is below the horizon, most programs won't track it!
 Glad it's working for you.
 Are you using this for the APT satellites?

   Found an in-view bird and it's tracking. The relays they be clicking. I have no idea what I did. Probably because I didn't have a bird in view.   
    Pedro sent me that Amsat that helps a lot. Now bookmarked       Jim, thanks for your assistance. I may be taking this to Burning Man this year.   ---

   Thanks Pedro for that site.   
    I can control the rotors with the dde, but not track from the WXTrack program.       ---

  Perhaps worth try http://amsat.org.ar/pass.exe 
 
 Using wispdde controls Rotor & Dopplers 
 
 It is the executable of http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm
