SAT Ops,
"RADIO VICTOR TANGO"
What sad and shocking news! The SAT Community has lost a really
great guy. Nick was an excellent operator and friendly and helpful
to everyone he encountered. When he was even living in a townhouse,
it was amazing the many QSOs and Grids he worked by using an
inside antenna!
A couple years ago while Roving in VE2 and Northern New England,
I ended up staying in Burlington, VT, overnight. Nick tracked me down
via e-mail and we had a nice eyeball QSO over coffee/bagels (he bought).
He had many amazing stories about his Satellite experiences and good
words to say about everyone. Whoever is chasing WAS-SAT probably
has Nick's QSL/LoTW in their file for Vermont. Whenever I would be
roving up north and the footprint fell out of most of the U.S., Nick would
often drop in for quick chat to keep me company when no one else was
calling.
Nick.... We'll ALL miss you dearly. Rest in Peace, my friend.
Bob K8BL

Hello All:
it is with a sad heart that I am writing this email, Nick, KB1RVT's, family
contacted me and asked me to relay this information:
Nick, while riding a bicycle trail in Vermont over the weekend, suffered a
fall, he apparently suffered some head injuries resulting in hemorrhaging in
the brain and passed away suddenly, local paramedics were quickly on the
scene & worked vigorously to tend to his injuries.
The family is still in the process of contacting people & asked me to reach
out to the satellite community.
Any details about the arrangements should be in the local Burlington Free
Press newspaper, burlingtonfreepress.com.
As I receive any additional information I will post it to the various BB's.
Please pass any information along any of the other social media conveyances.
Nick will be missed by the satellite community.

Jeff,
Let me add that the Direwolf TNC program has a section on a virtual TNC
serial port. No personal experience, but that should work the same as MixW,
and is freeware.

Hi Alan! Very good, before I moved forward it's good to see someone getting
it working, it assures me that I'm not wasting my time. I have a registered
copy of MixW, but also think I left the registration key in Florida. I also
have a DSP-2232, and a Symek TNC3S in Florida. I think the Symek is a
1200/9600 baud unit, but the 2232 can run 9600/9600 baud, I think. This will
be fun getting them running again with WiSP :-).
How come your uplink is limited to 1k2?

Jeff,
Flex never delivered on the promised 9600 baud capability for the VU5K.
KE9NS has gotten the RX side working very well, but there is little
documentation, and so far not on the TX side. Work still in progress, but
as I am the only one who seems to want it, very understandably not a high
priority. :)
Yes, the DSP-2232, which I still have, works very well at 9600 baud. I used
to use it with the FT-847 on the KitSATs and AO-51 when it was in packet
mode.
73s,

I worked Nick many times when I was active on satellites. He was an FB OP.
He was one of my first QSOs after my 30 years away from the hobby.

Thanks for the good info Alan. On what you told me I'm going to persue this
farther with my IC-9100. I have MixW running, (I downloaded a copy of the
new version, installed it and good old MixW still has me registered online
from 7 years ago! I just called Martha for a code for WiSP, the two codes
she gave me, one for win 3.1 the other for win95 ?? didn't work. How did you
get your copy of WiSP running?

Jeff,
I used the one from WIN95, and it worked fine on my WIN7 and WIN10 machines.
It does write that and other information to the registry, so you will
probably need to run as an Administrator.

It was sad to hear that one of our most active satellite
operators and dx'ers has passed away. Nick KB1RVT has
been around since I started working satellites in 2006 and
as K8BL mentioned, he has worked everything with "portable
equipment." He has likely worked more European Grids on
LEO satellites than anyone else in North America! He was the
voice of Fox November Three Four. We will miss hearing him
on the birds. May he rest in peace.

SAT Ops,
"ROMEO VICTOR TANGO"
What sad and shocking news! The SAT Community has lost a really
great guy. Nick was an excellent operator and friendly and helpful
to everyone he encountered. When he was even living in a townhouse,
it was amazing the many QSOs and Grids he worked by using an
inside antenna!
A couple years ago while Roving in VE2 and Northern New England,
I ended up staying in Burlington, VT, overnight. Nick tracked me down
via e-mail and we had a nice eyeball QSO over coffee/bagels (he bought).
He had many amazing stories about his Satellite experiences and good
words to say about everyone. Whoever is chasing WAS-SAT probably
has Nick's QSL/LoTW in their file for Vermont. Whenever I would be
roving up north and the footprint fell out of most of the U.S., Nick would
often drop in for quick chat to keep me company when no one else was
calling.
Nick....? We'll ALL miss you dearly. Rest in Peace, my friend.
Bob K8BL

Hello All:
it is with a sad heart that I am writing this email, Nick, KB1RVT's, family
contacted me and asked me to relay this information:
Nick, while riding a bicycle trail in Vermont over the weekend, suffered a
fall, he apparently suffered some head injuries resulting in hemorrhaging in
the brain and passed away suddenly, local paramedics were quickly on the
scene & worked vigorously to tend to his injuries.
The family is still in the process of contacting people & asked me to reach
out to the satellite community.
Any details about the arrangements should be in the local Burlington Free
Press newspaper, burlingtonfreepress.com.
As I receive any additional information I will post it to the various BB's.
Please pass any information along any of the other social media conveyances.
Nick will be missed by the satellite community.
-.-? -...? .----? .-.? ...-? -? ? ...? -.-
regards:
Frank; K4FEG
