Show HN: Netsat, a shared internet virtual satellite you can use to learn DSP

Receiving and decoding satellites is (in my opinion) one of the coolest things you can do with a radio. The problem is that it has a steep learning curve. Protocols are complicated, signals are hard to catch and track, and requires an investment in equipment just to get started.Netsat is an internet stream that simulates the experience of receiving a satellite signal with an SDR. I simplified the physics quite a bit to make it easier to get started. In the future I'm looking to add more simulated satellites that give users a bit more of a challenge. More realistic physics, location based signal changes, maybe even a moon mission with a controllable camera.
