Hello Dan,
The entire area around White Sands and the Holloman AFB have posted
signs restricting use of UHF transmissions including frequencies used
for amateur satellite uplinks.
If you are planning to uplink on L mode, 1267.359, you should have no
problem.
Just trying to help you avoid an unexpected visit from Military
Police.
Good Luck and have fun.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Upcoming SpaceX CRS-20 Launch
All,
The spouse of ARISS Hardware team member Ed Krome, K9EK, pointed out that
the ARISS next generation radio system (InterOperable Radio System--IORS) is
prominently described as a primary payload (note: not secondary) on the
SpaceX CRS-20 mission which will be launched no earlier than March 6 (ET).
See the Wikipedia URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_CRS-20.
The ARISS Team wants to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you that have
contributed to helping us realize this major milestone.
It should be noted that the ARISS hardware team is still very busy on IORS
development and final certification. While certified for launch and stowage
on ISS, are still in deep into the final certification of the IORS forflight operations.
Also, our build of the second flight unit is in progress in Florida and San Diego.
So while CRS-20 represents the launch of SN 1001-our first flight unit--it also represents the beginning of the "ARISS factory build" and certification of all 10 units.
ARISS-helping AMSAT and all our partners keep Amateur Radio in Space!
Note: November 13, 2020 will represent the 20th year of ARISS continuous
amateur radio operation on ISS!!

Bob,
I'm hoping for good things, and very much look forward to this launch.
Hope you are feeling well, too.

Hi All,
If you are experimenting with GEOsatellite ops on Othernet in an effort to gain skills towards GEOX4, then be aware of the new frequency change.
12.1032 GHz, (also try 12.1028 GHz, as this works better for my Octagon 3 Green LNB), - as opposed to the old 11.904 GHz.
Beam type now 164.
Make the manual changes in the Custom tab, then go back to the Satellite tab, change the area to Custom, as opposed to North America.
Then hit Apply.
Reboot Skylark and the DreamCatcher receiver board.

Hey Guys
I want to convert my station to raspberry PI 3B computer configured as follows:
Gpredict software
IC-9700 transceiver
G5500 rotorERC-M rotor control interface.
Can anyone provide insight on a successful installation.
Problem 1. ERC-M only supported by windows.
2. have not found a IC9700 config. for Gpredict.Any suggestions including a workable rotor interface.
Jim KI6WJPS all works fine on windows but i want to switch to Raspberry!
