ICOM 910 owners
by Dave Guimont 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

I found my manual for the 910, but I am still having problems accessing Compass-1, and I think the problem is in my 910 settings... I'm using MixW, think I have the settings there in good order, but would sure appreciate a 910 owner sending me their phone number... Messaging is ok, but the slight stroke I had a while back makes the keyboard a little clumsy for me... 73, Dave, WB6LLO dguimon1(a)san.rr.com Disagree: I learn.... Pulling for P3E...

Houston AMSATNET is changing DNS
by Bruce 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

This afternoon before leaving for work I changed the DNS entry for my web page. It should take between 24-48 hours for all servers worlwide to update the entry. Hopefully I have moved everything properly. If you experience a hiccup on the new site with any broken links, drop my a quick email so I can repair it. 73...bruce Sent from my iPhone

Would you have to go up on 435.23 to get the vo-52 145.92 downlink?

ISS NASA Human Space Flight Pass Prediction
by ki6rrq 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

Frank, Thanks for that ISS special event info, when I posted there had been no activity, so that's good news! In fact, I heard lots of activity on the ISS cross band repeater tonight, UTC 02:40 12-6-08, over San Diego, CA. USA....... Now that were getting some HAM activity on the ISS, I sure wish the person that keeps up the ISS pass prediction program on NASA's site, could find the time to update the pass prediction data.......... as of UTC 07:19 12-6-08, its showing pass predictions for November 23rd instead of the current date .......... http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/ JavaSSOP.html

A question about the UHF and Vhf Fm repeaters
by Scott Berry 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hello there, I am rather new to satellites and I am wondering when you contact So50 is there a plus or minus setting or is it supposed to be a no offset? Otherwise, I have everything else going and heard So50 just about 5 minutes ago. Have a wonderful day. Scott Berry n7zib(a)northlc.com
