by g0mrf＠aol.com 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Hi all. Using published information about the upcoming Dnepr launch on Thursday, I've produced a set of keps that seem to fit well with the launch time from Yasny. Sorry they are not in 2-line format, but these can be typed into Nova and other programs. Should be OK for the first 24 hrs after which we will hopefully have some from the launch agency or one of the payload teams. Name QB50p1 Cat 99999 Epoch time 14170.799 Element set 1 Inclination 98 RAAN 67.0 Ecc 0.0 Arg of perigee 175 M.A. 300 Mean Motion 14.82 Thanks David G0MRF

Ubuntu software advice
by Richard Lawn 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

In an effort to resuscitate an older pc running windows XP (R.I.P.) I'm trying to get acquainted with Ubuntu. I made some headway today with FlDigi but need advice regarding a substitute for SatPC32 that will run under Ubuntu and handle CAT control,of my FT-847. Any other Ubuntu ham programs like logging, digital modes etc. that anyone can recommend us appreciated. 73 Rick W2JAZ

I received a email that I have unsubscribed from the AMSAT-BB mailing list. I have not submitted a unsubscription request. Is this something in error or anyone else experienced the same. 73 Nitin [VU3TYG] ----- Forwarded Message ----- >From: "amsat-bb-bounces(a)amsat.org" <amsat-bb-bounces(a)amsat.org> >To: vu3tyg(a)yahoo.co.in >Sent: Tuesday, 17 June 2014 2:30 PM >Subject: You have been unsubscribed from the AMSAT-BB mailing list > > > > >

The start time is 1900 UTC Jun 18 for one week to Jun 24. I have not listed passes but when I have a foot print I will be on (if I am awake), that is... Dale-KL7XJ

Portable From FN21 - Need Preamp
by Richard Lawn 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

I'll be working portable from FN21 in NE PA Poconos for most of the summer using my FT-847 and eggbeaters. Finally got things set up today and worked quite a few stations on AO-7 & FO-29. SO-50 was the usual mess hi hi. Haven't yet tried LO-78. I've learned that I could really use a 2 meter mast mount preamp for 2 meters. I have one for 70cm so if anyone has one they are thinking of selling let me know. I need one that can be remotely powered through the coax by the 847. TNX and hope to catch you on the birds! 73 Rick W2JAZ
