Java moon tracking software runs on LINUX, Win 98, Win NT, UNIX, OSF, MacOSX

Presents the detailed construction of the _FLA25HV_ antenna, a specialized array optimized for Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communications on the 2-meter band. This resource provides schematics and practical insights into building a high-gain antenna system capable of reflecting signals off the lunar surface, a challenging but rewarding aspect of amateur radio. It covers the mechanical and electrical considerations essential for achieving the precise pointing and signal strength required for successful moonbounce contacts, often yielding **20 dB** or more gain. Amateur radio operators pursuing EME operations require robust antenna systems and precise tracking capabilities. The FLA25HV design addresses these needs by focusing on element spacing, impedance matching, and structural integrity to withstand environmental factors while maintaining critical alignment for lunar reflections. Such systems are crucial for making contacts over distances exceeding **768,000 km**. This personal page serves as a practical guide for hams interested in constructing their own EME arrays, offering a glimpse into the technical dedication involved in pushing the boundaries of VHF/UHF propagation.

Moon tracking for Mac Windows and Linux for EME by GM4JJJ

A moon tracking software capable to drive the rotation of your antennas in azimuth and elevation

SAT_EXPLORER is a versatile software for tracking the Moon, Sun, and artificial satellites while controlling various antenna interfaces. Compatible with Windows XP and later (32/64-bit) and multilingual (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish), it integrates seamlessly with TRX-Manager for transceiver control. SAT_EXPLORER computes satellite and Moon positions with high precision, calculates EME Doppler shifts, and uploads real-time satellite positions and coverage maps to your personal web pages. Linux/Ubuntu users can run it using WINE or CROSSOVER.

The purpose of the Moon tracking DLL is to provide an easily used platform for the calculation of the position of the sun or the moon and to provide the associated information often required for amateur radio operators interested in EME. DLL works with any of Windows versions of Delphi, Visual Basic, C and versions.

The Beam project offers various features for controlling antenna rotators, including support for 2 or 4 line LCD displays, software or hardware clocks, open collector drives for azimuth and elevation control, and internal calculations for tracking the sun and moon. It can also track satellites and supports "Flip Mode" for inverted antennas. The 4-line version provides detailed readouts while the 2-line version offers a more compact display. New versions now support PWM and I2C H-bridge modes for adjustable speed control at the end of a move.

The Greencube Terminal Program enhances communication with the Greencube/IO-117 satellite by enabling message exchange via a PC's soundcard and integrating with multiple loggers like ACLog and Cloudlog. It supports new contact identification through an ADIF file, featuring a color-coded "Dupelist" for tracking unconfirmed contacts and grids. The software is compatible with voice notifications for efficient satellite communication management.
