Go to www.stoff.pl and download "Orbitron 3.71". Once you load and
install it, make sure you update the "Keplarian elements", the latest
orbital data the program needs to give you accurate tracking info.

I use it to see the ISS from my back yard.
Just like the old days watching Sputnik.
I think I just dated myself ;')

Ah yes, Sputnik. I was a 12 year old kid at the time, wanted to listen
to it in the worst way (20 Mc/s) and the only receiver in the house was
a BC-348 that just went up to 18 Mc/s. I started to build a 15 meter
converter, but Sputnik's batteries went dead before I finished it...
