Good Evening,

My current station setup is a TS790, Yaesu G5400 with the Sat688 controller. There is a 440/144 antennas, no preamp yet. I do have a 440 preamp, but I have not set it up. Currently trying SATPC32, but may try HRD when he finishes adding the Easycomn1 communications. I think the setup is working. I do have a series of questions so that I can make my fist QSO..

What are the better satellites to work evenings here in the NE?

Are some easier to work?

I know there are some issues with the TS790 (so I have been told). Any tips? Do you shut off the computer control after it comes into view?

Is there a decent Linux program that will control what I have??

Any tips or help would be great!!
