Hi Folks,
Following a query from Scott on this bb, I like Nova and so I decided that I would investigate.
I managed to install Windows 10 on my old Toshiba laptop. I found that it didn't like big capacity USB sticks (again).
NOVA: See: https://www.nlsa.com/ If I installed Nova from the setup.exe, the program would run quite happily. I then tried installing the patch.exe and got this error message.
“Exception ERegistryException in module NfW32.exe at 0007B3EA. Failed to set data for ”. ”
Deleting and reinstalling setup.exe with the repair option, fixed the error and it now runs OK.
This may help other people who have had this problem, see: https://www.amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2018-April/067601.html

Hi All,
FO-29 was active over VK today, 12 September, 0512 to 0529z.
Listened out for the CW beacon and heard it. Tried the transponder and heard myself ok. Then had a QSO with David VK5DG/p.
Great to see the bird is active again.

Pity you weren't around an hour + half later. Had a good signal all to the south of me, well within WA. Haven't worked VK yet, so that would be a good one.
Glad this bird is back.

Hi Hans,
Actually I was. Had a QSO with VK3MQ during that 0700z pass. Normally here in VK we sit on 435.840 due to YB QRM on 435.850
We'll have to arrange a sked :)

I did not hear the beacon here in North America around 07:55 UTC. Perhaps the battery voltage dropped too low as it entered eclipse or the command stations only turned it on for a limited duration.
