Help for Tabular Track
----------------------
There will be times when you want a text listing of the details of the
satellites position over a period of time. A typical list of a satellites
position at various times well appear similar to that shown below:
Date Time Az El Range MA Mode Sq SSP
05-08-90 10:22:19 179 -36 8665 137 46 0/-26
05-08-90 10:27:19 183 -46 10152 150 39 5/-44
05-08-90 10:32:19 187 -55 11408 163 31 14/-61

This data is essentially the same as the data that appears in the top two lines
of the main tracking screen. Most of the information will be familiar, the Sq
column is the squint angle and is of most interest when dealing with satellites
such as OSCAR-13 which have high gain antennas for the higher frequency bands,
such as mode-S and the deceased mode-L. The Squint angle is a measure of the
amount of off pointing of the antenna on the satellite.
The column labelled SSP is the Sub-Satellite Point and is in the form
Longitude/Latitude. The Longitude is measured in degrees West from the
Greenwich meridian, the Latitude is positive for the Northern hemisphere.
The list may be scrolled by using the scroll bar to the right of the list. The
list may be removed by clicking on the Cancel button at the bottom of the
window.
