I have installed the SimpleSat Look Down program. It is really simple to
set up and use, however,
it doesn't have any rig control.
I see there was a version of SimpleSat that had rig control, however, I
cannot seem to locate that
program.
Does anyone know how I can get a copy of the SimpleSat program?
I have a registered copy of Sat32PC, but I feel the SimpleSat program would
be easier to use.
Thank You

Message-ID: <22D7D1128B7641FBB435BC4FFC0BA3EB@???>

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Vilniaus Jono Basanaviciaus Gymnasium together with Vilniaus
Jono Basanaviciaus Progymnasium, Vilnius, Lithuania on 12 Feb. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 12:45 UTC. The duration of the contact
is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct
between OR4ISS and LY1BWB. The contact should be audible over Lithuania and
adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80
MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
We are students of the Vilnius Jonas Basanaviciaus Gymnasium and
Progymnasium. Both of the schools are located in Vilnius, in the capital of
Lithuania. Here we are taught of all basic subjects such as physics,
chemistry, biology, math, etc. Our project team was assembled from both
schools and each member has their own motivation to join, some of us are
here to see what its like to make an amateur radio contact and talk to a
person in space, some are here for the generic experience, while others try
to figure out if space science would be what they want to do in their future
lives. Our team extends from writers, filmmakers to technical people, so
everyone can try out everything and do what they like most. Best thing
about this project is that it is a very unique way to celebrate the 100
years of Lithuania?s independence. All involved students will be able to
mark this historical moment with such a powerful milestone and inspire
future generations so that they never stop learning
new things and never give up reaching new horizons.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Jonas Basanavicius was named person of the century in Lithuania. What kind
of person would you choose to be your country's person of the century?
2. Can you see Lithuania from your current position?
3. What is your opinion about inflatable habitats that were tested in the
ISS?
4. If you could ever travel to one of the planets, which would you choose?
5. How your stay in space differs from what you had expected?
6. Are there any disagreements between crewmembers?
7. What extreme situations might be faced in the ISS?
8. What was the first thing you saw through the window of the ISS?
9. Who would you be if you were not an Astronaut?
10. If you had an opportunity to talk to someone from the past, who would it
be?
11. What annoys you the most in ISS?
12. Is the silence in space deeper that on Earth?
13. How do you relax in space?
14. Have you ever seen space junk colliding?
15. Which do you think is scarier; ascending or landing?
16. According to which time zone do you celebrate New Year?
17. How do paper planes fly in the space station?
18. What is going to be your first meal when you come back?
19. Do you use lasers made in Lithuania in your work?
20: How long does it take you to catch up with fashion?

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more informa
tion, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,
David - AA4KN

Still learning how to master the SatPC32 program.
It looks like I need to update the Doppler.sqf file as AO-91 and AO-92
do not show up.
Does anyhow have an up to date SatPC32.sqf file ?

a problem.? The transmit power on 2M has dropped from its nominal 45 Watts

He needs to send it to MTS. Former Icom repair tech who does outstanding

One of the club members where I'm scheduled to do a satellite presentation
has very little vision, but he is VERY interested in getting on the birds.
I don't know yet if he's going to be interested in just the FM birds, or
the linear ones as well. I haven't seen his shack yet, so not sure of what
equipment (HF/VHF/UHF) he might already have. He did mention he has some
Kenwood equipment; he implied that that company's radios are more
user-friendly for the visually impaired.
Is anyone on the BB aware of a current active satellite user who is vision
impaired whom I might call on for advice - for radio/PC software & hardware
- when the time arises? I may drop a line to Handi-Hams too for their
advice.
Thanks

Mac,
I also recommend MTS. I had some issues with my IC-821, including low
output power. I called Scott and he made a series of suggestions that
solved my problems.
For the low output power, check the SWR. The IC-821 will detect high SWR
and reduce the output to save the finals. Fix the SWR and the RF power
returns.

Are you sure it is bad? The radio may be folding back due to high SWR.
Water or bad connections can do this.
If you have already checked this then ignore my 2 cents worth.
Good luck.
