[amsat-bb] WISP

[w4upd]

I run into this frequently under Windows 10. WISP is use to the XP type 
registry. If you search for one of the satellites in the registry you'll 
likely find it in more than on location. When Windows does an upgrade 
and reboot, I find that the satellite data goes away as well as the 
station info. (coordinates)

Until this last upgrade to build 1809, I only had to inset one new 
satellite, go out and back in and the rest of the satellites I had 
enteerd came back. After build 1809 I have to add each one back.

Reinstalling WISP will bot have any effect. WISP really needs to be 
changed to use the Windows 10 style registry. If I had the source, I was 
going to do so. However, since it is not available, I just merely 
reinsert the satellites again as needed. I use SatPC32 most of the time, 
but I love the abilities of WISP for one shot looks at the screen for 
satellite activity and the ability to use it for the packet birds. Maybe 
someone will get a hold of the source as it is still a good satellite 
program.
