Hello Everyone -

I'm a retired electronics systems engineer who has been fascinated by the
night skies since childhood.  During my career I had several assignments to
participate in the development of aerospace hardware - mostly
communications systems and components.  Prior to my retirement 2-1/2 years
ago, I was a member of the Iridium development team in Chandler, Arizona
(USA).  I was delighted recently to discover the wealth of resources on the
Internet related to satellite activities.  Having personal access to the
tools and services to predict satellite passes and events, then to actually
view them, is a new and exciting experience for me.
