On Saturday, Feb 1, I will be doing several satellite passes for an
"International Day" PTA event at Mata Montessori School in far East Dallas,
TX, EM12 (Amateur Radio and AMSAT are international, right?) This though,
is a non-amateur radio related event but I got involved through connections
with the DFW chapter of the National Space Society. The target audience
will be families of students attending the school. I think the upper age
limit will be 8th grade.
I will be attempting three FM passes, 1718Z AO-91, 1743 AO-92 and 1848
AO-91. The first 91 pass may be iffy due to building obstructions, but the
last two will be definite.
My hope is to have a good crowd in toe for these passes and will probably
have them shouting out my call and grid to get them involved. Please look
for me, N5HYP and give a call out.
Thanks in advance for supporting this outreach.

I had been using an old version 'd' for quite a while with my IC9700. On
trying to update to the latest 'd' version, I keep getting an error message:
"Error while loading file YaesuIIPar.SQF, program will close"
I am using Win7 64bit Pro.
Any help would be appreciated.
(Of course, SDX still loads and then has to be taken down with Task Manager.)

I appreciate the replies to my problem. It?s solved. The computer kept
telling me the USB to serial device was running fine with up to date drivers
on Com 3. I finally changed that out with one of the other 2 USB to serial
adapters I own, fired every thing up and all is well again! I assume the
other adapter was just too old for Windows 10.
The interesting thing was the SatPC32 program was updating the sat
frequencies on the screen but not talking to the radio with the old adapter.
Life is good when you solve an aggravating problem!
Thanks to all and 73,

Glad you got it going, Rick. I was told some time ago that Windows 10
stopped shipping a driver for the Prolific chipset, although a replacement
driver is available somewhere. I don't know why all this happened, but
FTDI chipsets seem to be fine. That may be what you have.
Good luck and 73,

With satellites in range the program shows the time remaining until LOS.
Run WinAos simultaneously with SatPC32, then you will get not only the
next one but all passes for the specified period.

Hi Dan,
A few things to consider. First, it is recommended to fully *uninstall*
SatPC32
before updating. To keep customized settings, use the backup utility in the
software to save your local settings before uninstalling. SDX normally
closes when SatPC32 is terminated in the official way (File - Quit). That
also helps saving local window settings etc. The YaesuPar.SQF file contains
information for Yaesu radios... I assume you are using a Yaesu radio (?).
If the file is corrupted by your installation, I would suggest a complete
uninstall and re-install of SatPC32. See if that helps.

efforts to mark AMSAT's 50th Anniversary with special events at the
Dayton Hamvention and AMSAT Symposium. His leadership in bringing
together a variety of figures from the history of amateur radio in
space in Arlington, VA this past fall helped to make the Symposium a
very special event."

Also, remember to backup your data with the built in routine. I usually
leave the backup/restore program from SATPC32 open. Do the backup, then
uninstall SATPC32. Install the new one, then use the restore feature.
Ready to go.

There is a "predict" src folder that has FoxTelem specific stuff in it as I
remember. There should not be a predict4java folder. You should just need
the jar file. It's a slightly custom build of predict4java that includes
Doppler calculations.

Hi all,
for the people asking for being able to edit the list of satellites
and get rid of the ads, there are good news.
I've now published a paid PRO version of the app at:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolprimes.sattrack.pro
.
Also let me know if you want me to add satellites. If you do a link to
a web page about it that I can link to in the app would be great.

The University of Washington's HuskySat-1 CubeSat is scheduled to be
deployed from the Cygnus NG-12 spacecraft at 22:30 UTC today.
HuskySat-1 carries an AMSAT VHF/UHF linear transponder that will be
made available for amateur use following its primary mission to test a
pulsed plasma thruster and experimental K band (24 GHz) communications
system.
While the satellite completes it's scientific mission, check out the
best resource for learning how to work through linear transponder sat-
ellites (and other types of amateur satellites). For a limited time,
AMSAT is making the ?Getting Started With Amateur Satellites? book
available as a download with any paid new or renewal membership
purchased via the AMSAT Store. This offer is only available with
purchases completed online, and for only a limited time. A perennial
favorite, Getting Started is updated every year with the latest
amateur satellite information, and is the premier primer of satellite
operation. The book is presented in PDF format, in full color, and
covers all aspects of making your first contacts on a ham radio
satellite.
Please take advantage of this offer today by visiting the AMSAT store
at https://www.amsat.org/shop/ and selecting any membership option.
While there, check out AMSAT?s other items, including the M2 LEOpack
antenna system, Arrow antennas, AMSAT shirts, and other swag. Be sure
to view your cart before going to checkout. If you add a membership
and then go directly to checkout, you?ll never see an option to add
your free gift.
[ANS thanks the AMSAT Office for the above information]
In addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the
President's Club. Members of the President's Club, as sustaining
donors to AMSAT Project Funds, will be eligible to receive addi-
tional benefits. Application forms are available from the AMSAT
Office.
