Hi,
When I initially setup the FoxTelem program, I opened the "Settings" screen, selected the checkbox labeled "Upload to Server", and entered my call sign (WB4SON) as my "Ground Station Name". Finally I entered my six digit grid square (FN41fn) to calculated the Lat/Lon from that, and saved the settings. I left the two AMSAT server names alone, so they retained their default values.
Over a couple of nights, I managed to receive and decode a couple dozen telemetry frames, and assumed that they were making it to AMSAT. However, when I checked at http://amsat.org/tlm/ my call sign does not appear.
Does anyone have an idea why my decoded frames might not be making it to AMSAT? (The PC that is running FoxTelem has an working internet connection)

Hi Bob,
My best guess is, that the OS Firewall is blocking outgoing data coming from the FoxTelem software. Have a look at the logging from your firewall software and see if is being dropped.

Bob,
Jan is almost certainly right. Check that and report back. It may well help others.
