Bob, You might want to consider a Helical antenna for your mobile station. It would have less wind drag and easier to rotate. -- <tel:407-982-0446> -- Joe Leikhim Leikhim and Associates Communications Consultants Oviedo, Florida www.Leikhim.com JLeikhim(a)Leikhim.com 407-982-0446

RAX-2 Decoding
by Carl Rimmer W8KRF 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

I have installed the RAX-2 decoding software hoping to be able to copy and decode the telemetry. I am using a TS-2000 with a SignaLink USB and AGWPE as the TNC. I am not able to get the software to recognize this set up. I have AGWPE setup in Kiss Simple mode at 9600 Baud. (I use the SignaLink with the ARISSATTLM software and it works fine.) Can anyone tell me if this setup will work with the RAX-2 software? If so, what am I not doing or doing wrong? Thanks and 73, -- *Carl W8KRF*

SwissCube
by Trevor . 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

The HB9AFO website is saying that the SwissCube project management is to cease operations. They seek two radio amateurs who are equipped to receive and send to SwissCube to maintain contact with the satellite until the end of its life. These operators will be trained for this purpose and will benefit from the support of the Space Center EPFL. Contact mvonlanthen(a)vtx.ch HB9AFO Swisscube page in Google English http://tinyurl.com/swisscube ---- 73 Trevor M5AKA
