Hog does N2YO Satellites
We had been linking to Heavens-above.com as the hot link for the active satellites. That gave a good view of the satellites current position but it was missing the ever important radio footprint.
Now thanks to N2YO - we have a WEB 2.0 driven Live Real Time Satellite Tracking resource that not only gives visible pass predictions but also has the option to turn on a footprint display.

aprshog links for satellites
2.0.49 has links on satellite names to their orbit page at the Heavens-Above site. This is a quick and easy way to get a visual view of the satellites current location.

APRSHOG 2.0.48 - no more Current on Active page
The Active page was displaying two identical columns of packet counts. That was a simple waste of screen space -- specially for a display that doesn't really focus on watching counts like the check page. Turned off one of the columns and renamed the other to simply 'packets.'

aprshog 2.0.46 pos files
Changed the hardcoded loading of data for positions to be read on the fly from APRS .pos position files. No big change noticeable right away but this will open up different positions for different invocations of the program.. So the three local instances, WA, PNW and 96UHF, can all separate position files.
