Hi, It appears we have a semi mis-categorised port here. sattrack is currently under astro unlike two other packages predict, gpredict which do pretty much the same thing but which are in comms. All three packages predict, gpredict and sattrack are used by Amateur Radio Operators for satellite tracking. There are now quite a number of ham radio ports in comms, hence it would make a great deal of sense to at least put all three into comms and co-categorise in astro. It would also be very useful if the Makefile or description mentioned "amateur radio" as as the other two satellite tracking programs mention it as well. sattrack, gpredict and predict are certainly used for other than amateur radio i.e. anyone who needs to track a satellite, but the dual categorisation would be useful. Having all amateur radio/hamradio ports in the same category and labelled as such would also make it very useful for bsd hamradio users for finding amateur radio ports. - Diane
