@BrennanTPrice satmatch I went ahead and made this a UI feature: make the second grid blank on the main search page and you can get single observer passes.

Updated some graphics on satmatch.com to use SVGs for sharper display and faster download, and added small pass icons for the single location satellite list. Need to verify performance on these before updating the remaining lists and images. Let me know what you think!

New features today: added display of the distance between observers in km on the overlapping pass pages (thanks Chris K7TAB πŸ₯πŸ•–πŸ…πŸ₯‘πŸ₯“) and fixed a cache issue which dramatically sped up most page loads. Enjoy satmatch.com now 5x faster.

I finally added a long-requested satmatch feature: lists/groups of satellites are now supported. There are a few lists of active sats added to the incremental search box, and you can create your own lists by typing a comma separated list without spaces. Enjoy! #amsat #hamradio

Chris K7TAB πŸ₯πŸ•–πŸ…πŸ₯‘πŸ₯“ David Bartholomew MI0ILE .satmatch will do negative horizons if you know how to ask ;) The ,0,-5 is the WGS84 altitude MSL in km and horizon in degrees, so it will get more accurate with that info. I suspect there are probably some plotting issues around the plot axes, it's not been tested much

Updated satmatch to add advanced search UI options and to make the pages more responsive on mobile. One known issue is that the satellite autofill doesn't work as well as before. Other than that, let me know if you run into any major issues. #amsat #hamradio #satcom #iss

New satmatch feature geared to rovers: create a single grid list for your rove location/time/satellites. Now a box appears under the list and your chasers can drop their grid in and search for overlaps. Same for single pass pages. Enjoy! satmatch.com #amsat #satcom

Updated today to fix an issue that impacted searches for MEO satellites such as IO-117. Should be all fixed, but if you see an issue with any searches or pages please let us know. Thanks to W8LR for the bug report.

I just updated satmatch.com with a fix for a long-standing rendering issue for some IO-117 passes. The site should be more reliable for this satellite now. Please let me know here or satmatch if you see any further issues like this.

A little satmatch PSA: we will likely have some downtime the first few days of August as some hosting provider changes take place that I haven't been able to accommodate yes as I'm on travel. Search for and print your early August passes now. Satmatch.com pls RT

Finally was able to fix satmatch satmatch.com today. Apologies for the extended downtime, hopefully it'll be stable more long term this way. If you see new problems please do let me know.

Satmatch.com should be back up and stable. If you see any new issues please do let Justin @[email protected] know. Blocking malicious bots that were making a lot of unnecessary requests was the last piece of the puzzle to stabilize memory usage and response times.
