Orbitron Help ?
by John Heath 10 Dec '11

Hi Orbitron users. I find the simulation feature is very useful but I can't find out how to pause it. Does anyone have the required key strokes, or is that feature not included in the software. Thanks John G7HIA

Re: SatPC32 off screen window

Here's what I do, it works for me for any off-screen windows: * Click on the taskbar to make sure your off-screen window is selected. * HIt Alt-Space to bring up the window minimize/maximize/close/move dialog. * Choose Move. * Hit any arrow key (important - this starts the move process). * You can now (left-click-and) drag the window back onto your main screen using your mouse. Hope it helps!!! 73 de Dave KB5WIA http://kb5wia.blogspot.com On Fri, Dec 9, 2011 at 10:59 PM, Jeff KB2M <kb2m(a)comcast.net> wrote: > Has anyone had a SatPC32 problem where the program opens in a window off > screen.

After the 0300 pass I'll leave my mailbox open (K8TL-1). If you can't sleep and the bird isn't QRL try to leave me a message. I'll leave things set on 1200B. 73 and good luck.

looking for info on using a telescope tripod for automatic tracking
by k4rjj＠comcast.net 09 Dec '11

Hi everyone. I found a Meade telescope trpod with the az/el gears on it and a worm drive for each. There are no motors on it but I think that could be fixed with a call to Meade parts. What I'm looking for is a solution to drive the motors with instruction from one of the sat tracking programs out there. Any help would be great. The tripod is a medium duty model and has a top mount that is perfect for an Arrow yagi set. I made a short video of it. Tell me what you think and what can be done. Thanks!

Re: moderated list

No more so than should we have to have permission to transmit on a satellite. That being said, I have noticed over the years that a lot of childish stuff has been said on the AMSAT-BB which may have impacted the participation of volunteers, contribution of donations or professional offers of assistance (launch opportunities). You really never know who is reading, and you may scare off potential membership or contribution. Please think before hitting send. Unlike the PTT button, you have still a chance NOT to "say whats on your mind". >Message: 15 >Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 4:33:44 -0500 >From:<normn3ykf(a)stny.rr.com> >To:"amsat-bb(a)amsat.org" <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> >Subject: [amsat-bb] moderated list >Message-ID:<20111209093344.KKIX1.12900.root@hrndva-web05-z02> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 >Anyone else feel the need for a moderated list? -- Joe Leikhim K4SAT Leikhim and Associates Communications Consultants Oviedo, Florida
