Awesome work Joe!
Glad UMass has such a lousy orientation :-)

Thanks, Heimir.    K1JT did some work there a few years back that got a bit of notice, so I'm glad to get noticed also.

I am considering adjusting the response to the APIs in case something goes wrong:

{

     "payload": [],

     "errors": [{

                "code": 1,

                "description": "Resource is bad"

           },

     ]

}

Additionally, HTTP Status Codes in the 400-599 range are sent as a secondary indication of a problem.

Speaking of things going wrong, QO-100 has no "passes" as such. Except at the very edge of the footprint it never rises and sets.    I'd love to hear ideas on how to handle this case.
