[OZAPRS] Wide ?

[Gary Stern]

I leave in tomorrow morning,
between now and then I have to find time...

I am just thinking of setting the d72 to ariss and let it sit in the 
car, not bothering with normal aprs til I get back to sydney, being new 
to the d72 I am still learning to drive it. I was thinking just have it 
beacon every 3 to 5 minutes and hopefully have something to check on 
aprs.fi each night. SUnday is a short run just to charters towers, so I 
have the evening to fine tune.

Just where do I find the times for sat passes ? (Which sats as well) ?
