All:
I put together a quick start guide video for those interested in running
Wisp with VSP and a soundcard modem. The links are in the description. I
didn't have time to narrate, but the video should be self-explanatory.
Should be enough info to get started with Falconsat.
I'll post a video of this setup in action as soon as I get a chance to
work a pass.

audible over Montenegro and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited

Primary School '21 May' Podgorica was opened on 21st may 2010, the marking
date of the independence in Montenegro. In the first year of its operation,
the school enrolled 540 students to attend classes given for the first nine
years of their formal education. But the number of enrolled students is
constantly increasing on daily basis, and thus enumerating 920 students
today. Although opened seven years ago, this is still the youngest
educational institution in Podgorica with classrooms and other facilities
equipped with most modern teaching aids.
The school promotes many extracurricullar activities and after school clubs:
choir, chess club, learning foreign languages, acting, literary circle. The
school sports club is characterized by having departments in football,
basketball and volleyball. Teaching process is attended on regular daily
basis by 20 pupils with special educational needs, and 25 pupils, members of
the Roma population, side by side with the rest of the students who gain
their primary education in this institution.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What happens if a space rock hits that little space ship in a certain
place, and breaks something inside there, what do the astronauts do?
2. Do you have some funny moments in non-gravity space?
3. Do you listen to music in the space?
4. What did you feel like the first time you went to space?
5. How do you take a shower?
6. What are you going to do when you see an asteroid that is going straight
to hit the Earth?
7. Can you really see the Great wall of China or any other man-made buildings
from the space?
8. Are you afraid that something could go wrong with the spaceship or your
space suits at any moment?
9. Is it hard to stay up there without your loved ones, family and friends?
10. What happens when you go out of the space station and gravity of the
planet pulls you away?
11. Do you lose weight while orbiting Earth in your spaceship on your
missions?
12. Do you get along with your partners at the station and on the ship?
13. Do you know what happens in the black hole?
14. Is it possible to cry in space?
15. Have you ever seen anything weird in space?
16. Is your suit very heavy to wear?
17. Time is different in space, so do the astronauts age differently?
18. How do you sleep in space?
19. Would you ever live in space?
20. Were you afraid during launch?

When I request a directory fill from Falconsat-3 using WISP, I'm getting a
NO -5 PY2SDR
Directory request error.
Does anyone know what does this error means and what I should to recover
from it?
My WISP install is fresh and I don't have any directory entries from the

All,
The satellite presentation and live demo at the Richardson Wireless Klub
went
very well. Had at least forty attendees and about half of them stayed
for the
live demo. Thanks to Fernando NP4JV, Glenn AA5PK, Jim K5ND, Bert XE1HG,
Christy KB6LTY, Edward KK9EJ, Matthew KG5HVL, John K8YSE, Jerry N0JY, and
Virgilio HP2VX for the QSOs during the pass. This was a personal best
for the
number of QSOs I've done on a single pass (ten!). I also got a new grid
square
in the deal (EN60). I had a blast!

After 6+ years of casual Roving, I finally made it
to VUCC-R Satellite! My friend John K8YSE, who got
me started on this, was the QSO that put me at #100 when
he called me on SO50 yesterday at the EN72/73 Line.
Thanks to John and everyone else that put me in their

joy is to give "new ones" to fellow SAT Ops.
