Wow, Lots of Sats!
During our annual student Lab week where students must go outside and find
a bird, I have been AMAZED at the number of birds.
Its like a full time job! We are never more than a few minutes from a
good TRANSPONDER pass.
With the number of birds, I am amazed that we are not so spread out, that
there are even enough people on any one bird to make a quorum.
Anyone who has not been paying attention (like me), wake up, There are
bird transponders everywhere!

I've been struggling with a 9100 and HRD, and finally got it working
reliably with a CT-17 USB->CI-V adapter at 19,200.
My only trouble now is something that a lot of people discuss - I can only
get it to adjust one VFO at a time, despite the setting in 'Radio Options'
that is designed for the 9100.
Has anyone successfully gotten HRD to manipulate both VFO? I do not want
to use two radios or two different software programs if I can help it.
Thank you,

One of the 9100 serial ports is for CI-V and the other is for Radio Cloning,
etc
Bob's suggestion is spot on.

Hi George,
I have found that as I have added additional software programs to work with
HRD, such as N1MM Logger and HDSDRplay, I have had to install Virtual Serial
Ports Emulator and run the Splitter function. It creates a number of virtual
serial ports that I can connect HRD, N1MM and HDSDR without any conflict. On
my system I point VSPE to COM 4 and then have created a virtual serial port
at COM 20. HRD, N1MM and HDSDR and then connected to COM 20 and they all
work fine. Give that a try and see if it helps. Good luck!

am I doing wrong? Appreciate any help.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Col?gio Campo de Flores, Almada, Portugal on 02 Feb. The
event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:23 UTC. The duration of the
contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between OR4ISS and CS5SS. The contact should be audible over Portugal
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.
Private school build in 1967, which integrates 1.200 students, from
Kindergarten until 12th grade. It has a robotics club which enables students
to develop telecommunication skills. At Col?gio Campo de Flores
(www.campodeflores.com) there are two teachers who are ham radio (CT1-BOP
and CT1-FGK) lovers and do their best to involve students in the activities
promoted by the club. The following students also collaborate in the club:
Gon?alo Ver?ssimo, Diogo Martins, Sara Figueiredo, Sofiya Joosab, Rita

Tiago Penedo, Catarina Castro, Margarida Orrico, Marta Martins, Miguel
Baptista, Carolina Martins, In?s Lopes, In?s Marques Lopes, Jo?o Igreja,
Rafaela Geraldes e Sofia N?brega. This club is a tracking satellite station,
too, in association with Swiss Cube, a small satellite of the CubeSat class
(1kg - 1dm3) which was built by the Space Center at EPFL and many
universities and HES of Switzerland.
Furthermore, our robotics club has got a personal weather station with the
ID ISETBALA7 (underground network).
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. In your opinion, what skills must an astronaut have?
2. What would you advise to someone who hopes to be in your place one day?
3. What effects does space cause on human body?
4. How long did you take to adjust to zero gravity?
5. Can you describe a typical day on ISS?
6. Which daily routine is harder for you?
7. What would be a different day aboard ISS?
8. What do you do not to think about the ones you miss the most?
9. Besides our planet, what else can you see when you look through the
window?
10. Have you ever seen a black hole?
11. How do you distinguish day from night?
12. How do you fight illnesses?
13. What dangers do you face?
14. Which technologies allow you to survive?
15. Which energy sources do you use on ISS?
16. What scientific experiments do you perform on ISS?
17. What are the most interesting/exciting scientific discoveries so far?
18. The Earth is becoming overpopulated, do you think that living in space is
an alternative?
19. Is space as polluted as Earth?
20. What did you feel when you first saw our planet from space?

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

Story:
Musegg Grammar School Lucerne - Our school is a short-term grammar school in
the heart of Lucerne, where students can obtain their "Matura exam"
(A-levels) within four years. We accept students on the basis of them having
completed two or three years of secondary school.
Momentarily, 480 pupils are attending our school and are being taught by a
total of 83 teachers. We have an independent profile which is focused on an
artistic and paedagogical teaching culture. Music and arts are of great
importance in our school tradition and our daily school life.
Our major subjects are creative arts, biology/chemistry, music,
paedagogics/psychology/philosophy, physics/applied mathematics,
economics/law. Our school offers eight special weeks per school year which
permit an interdisciplinary approach to various topics.
The "Matura exam" (A-levels), the final diploma of our grammar school,
enables our students to study at any university in Switzerland.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. We take a lot of photos today. When you first arrived in space, did you
take a picture of the Earth, sunrise, sunset or anything else?
2. If your country has an upcoming election, are you able to vote on the ISS?
3. Suppose you woke up and realized that the Earth isn't there anymore - what
would you do?
4. What's your favorite city to look at from space?
5. Now that you have lived in space, would you colonize Mars?
6. Have you ever been afraid of never getting back to Earth?
7. What do you do when you have an argument with the other astronauts?
8. Do you believe that there are other living creatures in space beyond
Earth?
9. What experiment are you conducting at the moment?
10. How has the experience of seeing our planet from outside and far away
influenced your mindset and outlook on life?
11. What do you think of Elon Musk and his involvement in space travel,
population of Mars and reusable rockets?
12. Is it possible to get sick on the ISS?
13. Do you have any free time, if yes what do you do?
14. How long did it take you to get used to zero-gravity?
15. What do you miss most from the Earth?
16. How does time pass? Slower or faster than on Earth, what does it feel
like?
17. Can you take any personal object to space with you?
18. Why did you choose to become an astronaut?
19. What is your favorite food on the ISS?
20. What did you feel when you reached the orbit and saw our galaxy?

Playing around with gPredict on the R-pi.
Wondering how to add another location for TLE files??
The Rpi version does not have the "add TLE" option in the TLE screen. So it
looks like I'm stuck with only the one TLE location.?
I'm specifically trying to add AO-85, but I'm sure there are others.

Paul,
The Raspbian package is version 1.3 while the currently released
version is 2.2. The version 2.2 .deb package built for Ubuntu 16.04
armhf should install and run on Raspbian since those platforms share
most library versions.
You can download it at:
https://launchpad.net/~gpredict-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+files/gpredict_2.2.1

Congratulations to the NEXUS team for the successful launch and testing of
their satellite, now designed Fuji-OSCAR 99.
Am I correct that eventually this satellite will be used for Mode J linear
transponder operation, similar to FO-29?
FO-29 is a remarkable bird?here?s wish FO-99 the same success.

Hi
Just got around to install with SDR Console and will be playing around with
the Satellite portion.
Question: for testing on rx, would a discone or dual band vertical work best
? (before I set up the real antenna - Elk on a rotor)
Any input appreciated
