Tracking.
In order to use a satellite, its necessary to have some sort of means of tracking its position.
In the early days of amateur satellites, this was done by reference to a set of tables of 'equator crossing times' in conjunction with a cardboard device called an 'oscarlator' or 'oscarlocator'.
Fortunately many, if not most users now have computers and its easy to track satellites using suitable software.
This website has a downloadable tracking program called MINITRAK
and you can use this to track satellites of your choice.
Its a DOS based program supplied as a zipped file. Make a directory called Minitrak in the root of your hard disk, copy it there and PKunzip it. PLEASE read the instructions carefully.
You must as a minimum set you latitude, longitude, height above sea level and time offset from
GMT (UTC). You must also get a set of up to date
Keplerian
Elements to use in the program. This is true of ALL satellite tracking programs.
www.celestrack.com is a good place to find orbital elements.
There are many tracking programs available, some expensive and some free plus various shareware offerings. The AMSAT organisation also sells tracking software and sales help to fund new satellites so you may with to consider that route.
