Yes, homebrew is the name of the game.
I've made a az/ele tracking system with 2 x u110 rotators and a home brew
parallel port interface, which takes the data from SatPC 32 via DDE.
Here is a video (operating as VK4FHAW back then) talking to VK2AOR on FO 29

Is it possible to use a U110 rotor with a tracking program? I am in the
planning stages and would like to have the computer track the birds. Thanks

Hi folks,
I am selling my pristine Icom IC-970A 2m/70cm all mode base transceiver
including the following options:
CR-293 (high stability option)
UX-97 (1.2GHz module)
UX-R96 (50-905Mhz receive module)
UT-34 (tone squelch unit)
SP-20 (brand new external speaker)
USB interface cable to use with SatPC32 (works great)
The unit is build like a tank and its receive characteristics are
legendary. This is not only a fully functioning stationary satellite radio
but also a true collector radio. Just finished a few contacts on AO-91 but
it really shines on the linear birds.
Asking $1500 plus shipping. Photos on request.
Please contact me off the list. My callsign@xxxxx.xxx
Stefan, VE4NSA

Zach,
Do you avoid Satellites too? I've looked thru my logs and I don't have your
call in there. I've asked a few other prolific ops and they lack a QSO with
you as well. Just curious why the strong feelings on Item 6 if you're not
active on the birds.

I was one of the people who was trying to work WX4TOR that day. I was able
to work Patrick at his hamfest, but try as I might, on at least 2 AO-91
passes, I was not able to get through to Matthew. He heard me calling him,
but as he said, it didn't happen. Would have liked to have that
"interesting" one in my logbook, confirmed or not.
