Re: [amsat-bb] satpc32 problems <SatPC32 Checker program might help>

Hi Bob, The question raised by you and others reminded me of a simple little program I wrote a couple of years ago and never released. Ashamed to say that I gave into PITA when I could not figure out the link between a Group and its associated tle data file (perhaps there is no external link). The program seems to work but was abandoned when I gave up and decided to write my own tracker. I am sure there are many other similar programs out there but if you do not have one this might help. Please keep your computer on the desk and far away from the window. http://www.tomdoyle.org/satpc32checker If you try this program and it works for you contact me. If you have problems with it contact Bob :-) 73 W9KE Tom Doyle On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 9:58 PM, Bob- W7LRD <w7lrd(a)comcast.net> wrote: > Still attempting to make satpc32 work.

Satellite Demos - DC Mini Maker Faire - Sunday, June 8th
by Paul Stoetzer 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Good morning, I just found out that a local club is setting up a demo station at the DC Mini Maker Faire at Yards Park on the Anacostia River waterfront in Washington, DC (FM18lu) on Sunday, June 8th. As this location is under a mile from my apartment and weather is supposed to be great, I plan to bring my portable satellite station and conduct demos on the following passes: SO-50 - 1457Z-1510Z AO-73 - 1535Z-1548Z SO-50 - 1638Z-1650Z AO-73 - 1713Z-1722Z (10 deg max - depends on our surroundings) AO-7 - 1948Z-2008Z (Hopefully it comes up and stays in Mode B) 73, Paul Stoetzer, N8HM Washington, DC

satpc32 %$#$ again

This is on different computer- I get Ungultige gleitkommaoperation marching across the screen. I must shut the computer down to stop it. I had just downloaded new keps. The last time (other computer) I had to delete the entire program and start from scratch with everything. Is there something I am doing/not doing?? Becoming a PITA to keep everything running. from the digitally challenged 73 Bob W7LRD

Maybe I'll give it a go tomorrow, if I can find the time. RICK K7TEJ On June 5, 2014, at 20:55, "Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)" wrote: Drew, Glad to work you on that pass. I heard nobody else. I almost didn't hear you come back, as the satellite was just over the mountains to my east at that point. On the next pass at 0247 UTC, I worked AA5PK in Texas for my only QSO. This is a fun satellite. I hope it is available for our use on more passes, before it reenters. 73!

Thanks to WD9EWK, KC9TTR, and WB3JVD for my first QSOs on this satellite! It was a max 9 degree pass, with decent signals. I will say, if you are going to try this one, use the Celestrak or Spacetrack keps, since they are updated more frequently. 73, Drew KO4MA Sent from my iPhone
