Mechanological Construction, Electrical Wiring, Equipment Installation as also any other Service work was designed and executed by Stefanos M. Konstantopoulos.

 

Receivers Software Programming, Frequency Updates / Searching and any other Satellite Technology theory implementation applied for installing all above equipment was done and performed by George M. Konstantopoulos

 

Continuous Frequency Updates is performed by George M. Konstantopoulos

* Download free software (MS Excel sheets) written by George M. Konstantopoulos *

 

Click below to download a Satellite Positioning Computing Program (only in Greek).

SAT-POS.XLS 

This program computes for a given Longitude, Latitude, Magnetic Inclination the angles for Azimuth, Declination, the Compass Indication, the Skew angle for all the known satellites (Last updates on Satellites by 01.11.1998).

 

Soon I will release free, a newer more flexible and updated version which it will include also polar mounting setting angles computing, antenna gain / efficiency (with graphical representation) and more .......
