Banging my head against the wall right now. Help me!!!!
Have been trying to get DK3WN's software to work on my Linux systems.
The decoders start up, only AGW Onlinekiss Plus refuses to start. Using
a win32 setup on a 64 bit Linux install. VB6run is installed with
winetricks, all the OCX requirements are met. When running "$wine
agw_onlinekiss_plus.exe I get a "Runtime error '9' Subscript out of
range" error screen. The command line doesn't give me any hints on what
might be wrong. And to be complete: different computers, different
Kubuntu versions, still the same error message.
What is the problem here and more important, what is the solution?
Anyone....please........
Cheers and 73

Phil-
There is much information available to catch up on recent (and not so
recent) advances. The author of Linrad has done some dynamic range
comparisons:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbSa1G14Nig
Note that a receiver that is too sensitive may be easily overloaded by a
strong signal, requiring an attenuator proceeding it and resulting in an
increase in noise figure.
A less sensitive receiver that performs better on the "top end" when
strong signals are present can be helped out with a switchable LNA at
the antenna. Which is, of course, where the LNA should be to set the
system noise figure. No strong signals and you need some more
sensitivity, switch on the LNA.

To be fair, my experience is only with the RSP1A, which is two years (two
generations!) newer than the RSP1 that Scott uses.?If you're looking to
inexpensively add a receiver to a transmitting radio for a full duplex
satellite system, the $120 RSP1A is a very serviceable option and much
cheaper than a transceiver. I don't think the RSP1 is available new any
longer.?
You're right in that in certain portions of amateur radio, the equipment is
evolving very quickly; in other areas, very glacially. I bought a new
FT-818ND last year, which is not really a substantive improvement over the
FT-817ND, which has been around for fifteen years. I use it exclusively as a
transmitter for linear satellite work, and it works well in that role, as
would your FT-817.?

Thank you Ryan and Scott for your replies. I'm surprised that the RSP1
is more sensitive than the FT-817, which I bought when they first became
available.
I've been away from Amateur Radio for quite some time and I feel that

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Since about 2 years ago, the APRS satellite ground station captures have
been made available worldwide via three GEO satellites for reception
anywhere on earth.
But I recently found that the OUTERnet system has changed to a new GEO
satellite constellation and no longer uses INMARSAT L band satellites but
is now using a KA band downlink over the USA. And that they are now
selling a new receiver kit for this satellite.
Has anyone kept up with them?
Here is my original WEB page but with the links changed from OUTnet to
OTHERnet:
http://aprs.org/othernet.html
If anyone has one of their receivers or is receiving the downlink and/or
wants to help me get my web page all cleaned up to what has changed over
the last two years, let me know.
This is a powerful capability. I hope we can keep it working.

The $49 price for the Dreamcatcher SDR-type receiver that OtherNet was
peddling says it is sold out. I got mine for that price a few months ago but
I haven't had time to burn the SD card (ala raspberry pi) and fire it up.

Thank you Zach and Ryan,
I've recently renewed my interest in computer programming after
practically no activity for the past 15 years; Amateur Radio is in the
same boat. So much to catch up on and so little time left to do so.
I sold my FT-817 20 years ago because I wasn't making much use of it and
bought an FT-847. AO-40 really had me excited for a couple of years but
after its demise I slowly lost interest and the radio hasn't seen the
light of day for a long time.

I understand that the Phase 3E spacecraft frame is currently in Germany
(AMSAT-DL).

What was the planned launch weight of P-3E? (preferably weight without 400N

Hi Greg,
That is hard to say exactly for sure as it actually has not been done yet.
Maybe somebody else out there knows? I do know AO-10/13 was around 140kg at
launch with fuel and is 90kg without fuel. So it would be significantly
less as the fuel does weigh a lot (50kg?). Also a quick search shows that a
400N motor weights around 9.5 pounds, so minus that.Unfortunately that
launch opportunity for the direct launch to a Molniya type orbit was
scrapped. Hopefully AMSAT find some sort of a affordable launch opportunity
for it here soon in the up coming years. It is difficult enough now a days
just to get a 1-2kg cubesat into LEO unfortunately.

Keep in mind that it?s not just the $10-$15 million estimated launch cost
that is an obstacle. A molniya orbit passes through the GPS belt altitude
and potentially through both the protected LEO and GEO altitudes depending
on perigee/apogee of the orbit. A future HEO will need an orbital debris
mitigation plan acceptable to the government the satellite is licensed by.

Melbourne, Australia
Message-ID: <3382CC6198B94ECD9932BA0A629EBB59@???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Peninsula Grammar, Melbourne, Australia on 13 June. The
event is scheduled to begin at approximately 11:10 UTC. It is recommended
that you start listening approximately 10 minutes before this time.The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK4KHZ. The contact should be
audible over portions of Australia 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.
Peninsula Grammar is a day and boarding school for approximately 1400
students from three-year-old Kindergarten to Year 12. At Peninsula Grammar
we see learning not just as a path to university and a career, but also as a
path to wellbeing. The books we read, the science we absorb, the languages
we learn, the artistic, sporting and musical skills we acquire are the tools
that enable us to fulfil our potential.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Although you are in quarantine before going to space, if someone was to
get sick or injured in space, is there always a qualified first aid person
when it happens?
2. How long will it take to recover and will you miss the space station when
you come down?
3. What is your favourite thing to do in space?
4. What was your first thought during lift off when you travelled to the
space station?
5. What kind of science experiments are you doing?
6. Why did you choose to be an astronaut?
7. How do you use the Internet on board the space station?
8. When you were first selected to go to the ISS in 2013, were you thinking
about how much your research might affect the future on Earth and did that
help you cope with leaving your family behind, getting into a space craft
with people you don't really know and possibly risking your life?
9. What training did you do to become an astronaut?
10. Have you ever had a major issue with any of the technology on board the
space station?
11. What is currently being done to try to help your life in space become
easier?
12. How has your understanding of the universe changed now that you have
seen it from space?
13. What do you miss most about Earth?
14. Can you have baths or showers in space?
15. Did the air force help you with what you are doing in space now?

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 ISS National Lab 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 public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.
