[amsat-bb] Introducing the Satellite FAQ and How-To wiki

[John Brier]

The main content so far:

= What apps can I use to track satellites? =
*  http://sats.wikidot.com/what-apps-can-i-use-to-track-satellites
 * A table of Android/iOS mobile apps with supported/not supported
checkmarks for various features. I don't have iOS so I had to put
question marks on a lot of features for those apps.
* If you know the status of the features let me know off list, or I
can add you to the wiki so you can edit it yourself.

= How do you know when the ISS is transmitting SSTV? =
* http://sats.wikidot.com/how-do-you-know-when-the-iss-is-transmitting-sstv
* Includes instructions on how to setup email notifications on the RSS
feed of ariss-sstv.blogspot.com website using blogtrottr so you can be
emailed when new events are announced.

= How do you add 2 meter only digipeaters to SatPC32 =
* http://sats.wikidot.com/how-do-you-add-add-2-meter-only-digipeaters-to-satpc32
* I just added this based on an email from 2 hours ago

= How to create multiple profiles in GoSatWatch =
* http://sats.wikidot.com/gosatwatch:multiple-profiles
* You can create the equivalent of profiles in the GoSatWatch by
cloning an element set then selecting only those satellites of
interest.
* Brad WF7T created this tutorial

Brad, WF7T and I started this wiki.The purpose is to document answers
to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) across the various forums like
amsat-bb, the AMSAT-NA Facebook group, twitter, QRZ.com forums, etc.
How-Tos are also acceptable. The goal is not to be a comprehensive
source of amateur satellite information (especially not lists of all
the sats, as that info is on many other sources), just to supplement
what is already out there and provide a place to collect commonly
requested information. More information on the intention/philosophy of
the wiki can be found here:
http://sats.wikidot.com/about

If you want to add stuff or edit the wiki, please create an account on
wikidot and let me or Brad know your username/email address and we can
add you.

On the To-Do list [1] I have a goal to make a new page with a list of
full duplex HTs. I know a list of these HTs already is on the web but
I don't believe it's updated. I also know Patrick, WD9EWK has a lot of
detailed info on various Chinese radios. All of this could be
summarized and updated as new HTs come out. If you want to start it
"that would be great." ;-)
