UKube-1 launch first signals
by Graham Shirville 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

AMSAT-UK has congratulated the UKube-1 team on the successful launch and deployment of the spacecraft earlier today. Signals have already been heard from both transmitters in many countries and the UKube team has asked that all stations continue to monitor the downlinks and where possible to forward their reports as follows: CW beacons on 145.840MHz to operations(a)funcube.org.uk and steve.greenland(a)clyde-space.com FUNcube telemetry on 145.915 MHz - your existing dashboard will not display properly(except for the Fitter Messages!) but it WILL be forwarding it to the Warehouse correctly and the data will be very useful for the team. The first stations to receive the FUNcube telemetry during the initial orbit were: DK3WN OO1A F-60429 G0PGL G4GUO PB1DTF M0LTC Further information on the UKube-1 spacecraft can be found here http://funcube.org.uk/news/ best 73 Graham G3VZV

SatPC32 via Wine on Ubuntu
by Richard Lawn 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Some of you may have been following my attempts to continue to use a vacation house P4 that had been running XP (still is but its painful to watch and wait). I've been trying to familiarize myself with Linux using Ubunbtu. I got FlDigi to work fine and WSJTX as well as a good log program called CQrlog. I got stumped though with my satellite operation. I tried with helpd to get GPredict running but it (or Hamlib) was still buggy on the FT947 even with the latest version. I then, with help, installed Wine and dowloaded my favorite program - SatPC32. To my surprise it works....almost. I don't seem to have Frequency adjustment at the radio by using the CAT controls in the software. I also can't change the mode to CW through the software. Is anyone using SatPC32 on a Linux platform? If so I'd like to connect tap your brain. 73 and hope to see you on the birds from my portable location at FN21 Rick W2JAZ
