Windows XP and the Amsat Rotorinterface IF-100
by Paul Clay 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Hi Guys, I am new to the group and getting interested in Sat comms. I am using Ham radio Deluxe satellite tracking system which works fine and communicates with the WISP program. I have the following problem I cannot get any output from WISP to the LPT port. I have tried a number of things but it does not work. My question is, has anyone got the IF-100 working with Microsoft XP and WISP? I just hope someone is out there who can help. Thanks from Paul OE8PCK. oe8pck at aon.at

BOD and President
by Bruce 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

The new president could wind up being a lame duck ... here is why. the board elects the president at the first board meeting of the new board. typically it is someone on the board. typically you are elected to the board and over your years of service on the board are groomed (so to speak) to be president. you learn the workings of the organization etc. there are 7 board members with voting capabilites. there is one alternate (cannot vote). if all board members are present for a vote, there should never be a tie unless one member abstains. now, let's say that someone not on the board (with voting rights) is elected president. he will only have a vote in order to decide a tie, thus never being able to offer a measure for vote, never being able to second a measure and never being able to vote on it. wouldn't that make the president ineffective and a lame duck? btw things are fun here in Houston/Harris county. my house is fine except no electricity or water so stating at my sons apt which has everything ( a benefit to living near the medical center ). I have worked a weeks worth of time in 3 days. the next 4 days will be for mucho overtime. hope andy and marty are okay have not heard from them. 73...bruce Sent from my iPhone

Thanks for the good information Domenico, that difference in dimensions is important because of the fine teeth on the gear. I also have an old Kenpro pot (somewhere)!! 73 Geo. Amsat# 26245

DO-64

Is anyone getting strong signals through DO-64's transponder? I was able to only hear myself very weak for a short period of time on this morning's pass. DO-64 must not be positioned properly at this time. Mike (K9QHO) AMSAT 33589

A few weeks ago someone posted a link to an article about de-sense. I thought I had saved the message but now I can't find it. If anyone has the link location I would appreciate it if they'd forward it to me at al1f(a)arrl.net. Thanks! Joe Seibert-AL1F Bethel, Alaska AMSAT Member 35333
