Exactly. The transistor provides both the level shift and invert functions,
so just connect it between the rig (TTL) and serial port (RS-232).

Yuri has decided to run the 130 degree west longitude
grid line and is headed there now. He should be on
the line around 1824utc (CN52/CN42). He thinks that
some will not understand the exchange which would include
two grids and wanted this info disseminated widely to
avoid confusion and questions during qso's. He will run
the line all the way to CN56/46. Plans subject to change.
Based on previous posts I know that not everyone trying
to make contact with Yuri reads the amsat-bb and/or the
starcom-bb. Please share this information with your
friends that might not subscribe or read it on the
website(s). Please do not ask for a repeat of the grid
square(s). Just listen to the other contacts if you think
you did not copy something correctly. I will be receiving
GPS photos for documentation. Computer controlled navigation
systems on the ship will keep it on the line.
Yuri should be waiting to go into port off the coast
of Oregon at the Columbia River around 3/28-29. He will
be in port for a few days. Plans are to sail back to the
Panama Canal but along the coast this time. Hopefully this
will result in many west coast grids needed for working all
488 Continental USA grids on satellite.

There is a lot of exciting activity around the Fox satellites on
Twitter from both AMSAT's and N0JY's feeds. @xxxxx and @xxxx
If you are not following them, you're missing out on some great photos.
I do believe it is being relayed to Facebook.

that page is no longer maintained. it is from the old server. please use
the link on amsat.org, under services click on amsat and amsat related
nets. i noticed that our local houston net had the incorrect repeater
and i updated it. i can update any of the other nets if someone finds it
to be incorrect. please let me know what needs to be fixed.

same questions I've posed already for the most part... but thought it
might be useful to pose them interactively and live. is the 20M net still

Apologies if this is not the correct forum for SatPC32 questions.
It appears to me that either SatPC32 does not handle Daylight Savings Time
correctly or I missed a setting somewhere. My passes show to be an hour
late, when compared with HamRadioDeluxe. If I disable DST on my Win7 OS,
the tracks are in agreement. I'm running V12.8c. What am I missing?
Thanks.

Michael,
Can you be more specific about " unable to get it to work."? Is it not
controlling the rig, not showing the frequencies, or not doing a good job?
AO-73 has significantly more drift than most satellites, and computer
control does not work well. Most people use manual tuning, though SatPC32
will get you close before you turn off tuning.
73s,
Alan
