Will there be any updates (addiitions) required for FoxTelem to enable
HuskySat telemetry reception? Currently I get a spacecraft error when I
try to enable HuskySat (understandable, no TLEs, etc.).

I’ll be logging all of my contacts from CM94 as N6REK/P on QRZ.com and LOTW.
Hope to catch you on the FM birds this weekend.

I had been using an old version 'd' for quite a while with my IC9700. On trying to update to the latest 'd' version, I keep getting an error message: "Error while loading file YaesuIIPar.SQF, program will close"
I am using Win7 64bit Pro.
Any help would be appreciated.
(Of course, SDX still loads and then has to be taken down with Task Manager.)

The University of Washington's HuskySat-1 CubeSat is scheduled to be
deployed from the Cygnus NG-12 spacecraft at 22:30 UTC today.
HuskySat-1 carries an AMSAT VHF/UHF linear transponder that will be
made available for amateur use following its primary mission to test a
pulsed plasma thruster and experimental K band (24 GHz) communications
system.
While the satellite completes it's scientific mission, check out the
best resource for learning how to work through linear transponder sat-
ellites (and other types of amateur satellites). For a limited time,
AMSAT is making the “Getting Started With Amateur Satellites” book
available as a download with any paid new or renewal membership
purchased via the AMSAT Store. This offer is only available with
purchases completed online, and for only a limited time. A perennial
favorite, Getting Started is updated every year with the latest
amateur satellite information, and is the premier primer of satellite
operation. The book is presented in PDF format, in full color, and
covers all aspects of making your first contacts on a ham radio
satellite.
Please take advantage of this offer today by visiting the AMSAT store
at https://www.amsat.org/shop/ and selecting any membership option.
While there, check out AMSAT’s other items, including the M2 LEOpack
antenna system, Arrow antennas, AMSAT shirts, and other swag. Be sure
to view your cart before going to checkout. If you add a membership
and then go directly to checkout, you’ll never see an option to add
your free gift.

Hi all,
for the people asking for being able to edit the list of satellites
and get rid of the ads, there are good news.
I've now published a paid PRO version of the app at:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolprimes.sattrack.pro
.
Also let me know if you want me to add satellites. If you do a link to
a web page about it that I can link to in the app would be great.

Joe Spier, K6WAO, Resigns as AMSAT President
Joe Spier, K6WAO, has tendered his resignation as AMSAT President,
citing personal reasons. Spier had served as AMSAT's President since
October 2017. Prior to his tenure as President, Spier served as
AMSAT's Executive Vice President and Vice President - Educational
Relations. He also served as an AMSAT News Service Editor and as a
member of the ARISS Education Team.
Under the AMSAT bylaws, Executive Vice President Paul Stoetzer, N8HM,
assumes the office of President until the next meeting of the Board of
Directors.
Stoetzer said "I want to thank Joe for his many years of service to
AMSAT in a variety of roles. I especially want to recognize his
efforts to mark AMSAT's 50th Anniversary with special events at the
Dayton Hamvention and AMSAT Symposium. His leadership in bringing
together a variety of figures from the history of amateur radio in
space in Arlington, VA this past fall helped to make the Symposium a
very special event."

I just noticed this with two different sats. I got a screencap of it too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK9IkhltFJ4
ISS is in view, and while it is in view CountDown doesn't show an
upcoming 65 degree ISS pass that should be between SO-50 and AO-91 in
the middle of CountDown. After ISS goes out of view the 65 degree pass
pops up where I expect it to be the whole time.
Watch the local time at 20:23:38, about 10 seconds into the video.
Is there a setting to allow multiple passes from the same sat or is
this a bug/feature request situation?

On Saturday, Feb 1, I will be doing several satellite passes for an
"International Day" PTA event at Mata Montessori School in far East Dallas,
TX, EM12 (Amateur Radio and AMSAT are international, right?) This though,
is a non-amateur radio related event but I got involved through connections
with the DFW chapter of the National Space Society. The target audience
will be families of students attending the school. I think the upper age
limit will be 8th grade.
I will be attempting three FM passes, 1718Z AO-91, 1743 AO-92 and 1848
AO-91. The first 91 pass may be iffy due to building obstructions, but the
last two will be definite.
My hope is to have a good crowd in toe for these passes and will probably
have them shouting out my call and grid to get them involved. Please look
for me, N5HYP and give a call out.
Thanks in advance for supporting this outreach.

Greetings everyone ,
After a bit of a hiatus, I will back on the FM sats from CM94 this weekend. On a holiday schedule, planning to work AO-92 and AO-91 around 10:05 and 10:35 respectively. More to come tomorrow
