How I Use N2YO.COM for Amateur Radio LEO Satellite Work

N2YO.COM is one of my favourite websites for checking amateur radio satellite passes. It is a wonderful site which is currently tracking about twenty nine thousand objects in orbit. Of course, I am interested only in Low Earth Orbit Satellites, especially those with an amateur radio FM voice repeater. Occasionally I do check new satellites with digipeater and SSTV transmissions as well. I use the pass direction displayed on the website to point my fixed Moxon Yagi in the appropriate direction to maximize the chance of working other amateur radio stations through voice repeaters on satellites. Though I typically point the antenna towards the point of maximum elevation azimuth, sometimes I do point differently if I expect certain stations to come up in a different direction, like pointing more Northward in a pass coming from the Indian Ocean on the Western side, where there are not many operators on the Southern side.
