For anybody who is considering downloading the now free version now made
available by Michael Owen, (See quoted email below), be aware that if you
are going to be running this program on Windows 7 or 10, you will have to
use Windows Compatibility settings to make the program think it running in a
Windows XP environment. After that, it will run pretty much as it did on XP
machines. Windows 10's Compatibility wizard will try and set it up as
Windows 7 but you should manually set the program to execute under Windows
XP Service Pack 2 mode to make it go.

The "latest" copy of Nova for Windows is at
http://www.nlsa.com/uploads/nfw2.2c/Full/setup.exe
You should also download and install this patch for compatibility with later
(post-XP) versions of Windows...
http://www.nlsa.com/uploads/nfw2.2c/Patch/Patch.exe
Nova has not changed in several years. I can no longer compile it or make
any changes.
Nova is now freeware. The free license code is NLD-8554457 You are welcome
to download and run it to your heart's content.

Hi All,
My wife and I are planning a cruise to the Caribbean this winter. I was
looking at Carnival since some of you have posted about using radios for
satellite contacts while on board. As I was reading the "Carnival
Corporation Prohibited Items
<https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4090> " list I found this
line; "Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), ham radios,
satellite phones, transformers, lasers and laser pointers". With all the
heightened security these days I figured they had decided to add ham gear to
their list. As I was reading the "Exemptions and Other Considerations
<https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2261> " list I came
across this line "Ham Radios/Amateur Radio Equipment: Permitted to be used
on board". At the bottom of the page was "Was this answer helpful Yes/NO",
I clicked on "No" and a box popped up asking for an explanation. I pointed
out what I found and asked which line is correct. I will post their answer
when I get it.

I see that they also ban laser pointers. I guess that they are afraid
someone is going to blind the ship's captain or navigator while they are
trying to steer the ship into port. So, I guess no Power Point
presentations need be attempted in the future...
I look forward to their answer about the contradictory statements about ham
radio equipment on board.

I think you may be missing something:
"The following items are prohibited and their possession is not allowed on
board any Company ship by passengers or crew without a valid lawful
reason....and only with consent of the Ship's Master."
Emphasis on: 'without a valid lawful reason' and 'only with consent'.? Do
you have a valid lawful reason for possessing a ham radio (or a laser
pointer)? Then it may be okay. And that's what they are telling you in the
second link that lists exemptions to those prohibitions. 'It's okay for ham
radio use on board... but not for you to use to listen to the crew conduct
ships business, talk to other ships in the harbor, and so on.' That way they
can speak to the issue of your activities of such gear, not just the fact of
possession of it.
This is legalese so that someone can't just bring anything on board they
want, claim it's ham radio (or in the case of a laser pointer, claim it's
for a fictitious power point presentation), and claim a right of possession.
They are saying to anyone/everyone...? 'We don't let you bring these things
on board willy nilly without a reason and if we don't like your reason, we
can boot your stuff off the boat and there's absolutely nothing you can do
about it; you have no recourse.'? I believe the term 'exerting positive
control' is used in other professions for such a situation...
73 and enjoy your cruise!? Kevin N4UFO

No wonder there is so much confusion in this regard - it's not clearly
spelled out what is and is not permitted as far as ham radio goes. It
looks to me like, if the captain authorizes it, you can bring your gear
on-board and operate it on-board. Carnival really needs to clarify all of
this with a specific written policy that states clearly what is and what is
not allowed and who's permissions are needed to do so!

A difference between Carnival Corporate rules and Carnival Cruise Line rules.
The other cruise lines under Carnival Corporate (Princess, Holland America,
Cunard, Costa, Fathom, P&O Cruises, Seabourn, and
AIDA) follow corporate rules. Carnival Cruise Line is the only with an
explicit exemption for amateur radio gear.
I fought earlier this year Princess and lost.

Hi friends,
I will be able to activate grids KO10 and JO94 from Poland during the next
days in SO-50. Maybe it is possible that I activate other ones in my route
between both grids as well.
More less it will be:
KO10 -> Between days 13, 16 July
JO94 -> Between days 17, 25 July
Also it might be possible some grid from Sweden in a short trip, but I
don't think it is really probable.
If anybody very interested please mail me for skeds, Also if anybody in
Gdansk wants to have a beer just tell me! I am going to be there some days!
Thanks!

Message-ID: <b7700130055d584128b1a9edb2c0ceae@xxxx.xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
There will be several Ham Radio experiments during the eclipse. Please
see: http://HamSCI.org
Anyone can do the AM radio experiment by listening for the 13 clear channel
AM radio stations that are along the path of totality. As the D layer is
darkened these stations should come up out of the noise. Check the web page
for times and frequencies. The eclipse traverses the USA over about an
hour with any one observer seeing totality for about 2 minutes.
Also, APRS will be used during the day of the eclipse (21 Aug) for locating
those hams involved in eclipse observations to be able to see where other
nearby ham observers are located. Imagine the APRS map that day showing a
clustering of mobile and portable positions all along the totality line.
Please use the station symbol SUNNY (\U) for this event so these stations
will stand out among all others on the national tracking page http://aprs.fi
In addition to position reporting, APRS real-time messaging can be
used for direct
station-to-station texting plus the announcement server will give national
connectivity for announcements. To use it, just send an APRS message to
ANSRVR and begin the message with CQ ECLIPSE? Such a message will be sent
to every other station in the event that has also sent a similar message.
Due to the load, limit transmissions to no more often than once every half
hour.

Stuart, GW7HPW, the RFM-22 guru from the $50sat team, has done some testing
with LoRA and has flown a few pico balloons to compare max range with the
RFM-22. LoRA shows a significant increase in usable range based on Stuart's
testing. Howeve, it appears LEO satellite doppler may pose a problem with
the standard hardware. Further testing would be required to make a final
determination.

Hi Ashhar,
LORA is/uses a proprietary protocol, however, it has already been
reverse-engineered by software defined radio people, so ground stations
could potentially use an SDR instead of a LORA chipset:
