I would agree it would be a candidate for cross-listing in astro,
however, there are now eight amateur radio ports in comms, including
"predict." There two more amateur radio ports that are about to be
submitted and several more in the pipe.


The ports are (so far):

predict
gpredict
hamlib
hamfax (broken under 4.x)
gmfsk
acfax
grig
xlog

Two more amateur radio ports that will be submitted shortly or already 
submitted are:

"thebridge" - Amateur Radio echolink compatible conference bridge for unix
"xastir"    - APRS (Amateur Radio) programm under X for unix

"thebridge" has been submitted by me, Carl Makin (carl at stagecraft.cx)
and I have been colloborating on "xastir" and shall be colloborating
on further ports.

I would argue that a new hamradio category would make sense at this time.
