Hi Jerry, > I have lost Fastrac 1 and Fastrac 2 from My list of satellites in satpc32 . How do I get them back ? They are now also called FO-69 and FO-70. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasa.all Since I am not a satpc32 user I cannot confirm this will resolve your problem. -- Henk, PA3GUO

Hi Kevin: > I was looking for Fastrac-1 on HRD and cannot find it.. Does anyone have any help with that? Now called FO-69 (and Fastrac-2 is called FO-70) http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasa.all > Also, it said Digipeating, would this be just like the ISS and PC-sat? It has a beacon at 437.345 MHz FM 1k2 (each 3 minutes a short transmission like this) FAST1>BEACON:F11001640554707.250394776476.41 -4085291.68 +3118368.63 +0.00000 +0.00000 +0.00000+1BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB Sometimes is connects with Fast-2, then you see that traffic also.
