Greg, One million dollars is still an awful lot of money. Given the almost mythical status of the "cheap ham" where are we going to come up with that kind of cash?

SatPC32 madness
by Ed Krome 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

I’m using registered satpc32 v.12.8c (also have 12.8d on another; same problem ) to control HDSDR and LVB tracker (serial, not usb, which is even more problematic), automatic satellite switching (now looking at wxsat’s). Sometimes, it all works fine. Other times, not. Like tonight, it won’t auto switch. Other times, When it does auto switch, it controls frequency just fine. But it may or may not move the antennas. Tonight it’s not auto switching, but when I manually click on the visible satellite, freq and rotor control start to work. Sometimes it will all work well for a few days. Then just quit. (It’s all on a good UPS). I sometimes think it just likes to mess with me. The other machine does the same thing. When it feels like it. Anybody have any words of wisdom ?

Hi Ed, Mark, N8MH, and Alan, WA4SCA, reported the same problem 8 months ago. With your program version automatic satellite switching fails (and rotor control stops) in the following case: The program tracked a satellite with higher priority and after its setting should switch to a sat with lower priority. I have fixed that and the current release of V. 12.8d works flawlessly. A temporary solution: Set the "minimum Elevation" (menu "Rotor Setup") to a positive value, say, +1 deg. 73s, Erich, DK1TB Am 29.08.2019 um 03:27 schrieb Ed Krome via AMSAT-BB: > I’m using registered satpc32 v.12.8c (also have 12.8d on another; same problem ) to control HDSDR and LVB tracker (serial, not usb, which is even more problematic), automatic satellite switching (now looking at wxsat’s).

Ham GEO satellite PowerPoint
by KC9SGV 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi All, Here is a very nice PowerPoint presentation for the European and Katari ham band transponder Geostationary satellite, QO-100. Hopefully, we will one day also have one or a couple of these Ham band transponder GEO satellites over the Americas. https://ukamsat.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/qo100_eshail2_m0eyt_frars_2019-… Bernard, KC9SGV Sent from my iPad

SatPC32
by RG 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi, I had a couple of questions about SatPC32, I can't seem to get the CAS4A and CAS4B frequecies to show up in the program.It shows the satellites tracked on the map,but frequencies are blank.I tried downloading the Kepler data in the program.When I checked out the doppler.SQF file it didn't list many of the satellite which the program loads up, much less the CASa and CASb information.I also had a problem with the program not loading a bunch of other satellites,the only I way I could fix it was to reinstall the program again.Much help would be appreciated.ThanksRich marzo7088(a)yahoo.com

Re: [amsat-bb] Looking for info on AO-6
by Nicholas Mahr KE8AKW 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

Hi Bill, If you look on N4HY's SmugMug https://n4hy.smugmug.com/AMSAT it shows pictures of both AO-7 and AO-6 in construction. I can say from studying the pictures of both AO-6's and AO-7's battery packs from that page, that they both look identical in construction as far as i can tell from the picture. Also a quick google search turned up these frequencies: *Uplink* (MHz): 145.900-146.000 *Downlink* (MHz): 29.450- 29.550 *Beacon* (MHz): 435.100. Yes it would very cool if OSCAR 6 came back to life like its brother AO-7. Although having a repeat of AO-7 would be rare, its possible! Nick KE8AKW
