S-100 bus , new designs, and restorations are alive and well.
Over the past two years, a number of 1970s microcomputer pioneers have
passed ? including Paul Allen (cancer) and Bill Godbout (Paradise/Camp Fire).
John Monahan hosts the S100 Computers web site.

On April 29, John released the newest S100computers board, FPGA 80286 SBC

I was doing LSI-11 stuff at the time, and wasn't impressed by the S100 bus.

Oh dear - this also happened with RS25 which was launched on the same
time as SSETI Express ...https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/mozhayets-5.htm
RS25 never became active but RS44 is certainly working well!

If you find errors or omissions. please contact me off-list at

This list was developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf listings
for the two months. It's a visual comparison so omissions
are possible. Apologies if your call was not mentioned.
Thanks to all those who are roving to grids that are rarely
on the birds. They are doing most of the work!

Need a little IT help here..
I have a PC running WSJT-X full time in WSPR mode.? When I start SatPC32
on that same computer it kills the uploading of spots from WSJT-X.? It
appears they both use 127.0.0.1.? WSJT-X apparently uses that address
for Internet connections.? SatPC32 appears to use the same address
between it and the rotor controller program (sort of guessing on that one).
So the question is how to change one or the other.? Perhaps it's easy to
change SatPC32?? To be clear, I need to run both programs at the same
time full time.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Call for Nominations, 2020 AMSAT Board of
Directors Election
Message-ID: <844188759.492655.1588353973362@????.?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
AMSAT solicits nominations for the 2020 AMSAT Board of Directors election,
to be held in the third quarter of the year. The seats of the following
three incumbent Directors expire in 2020 and will be filled by this year's
election: Tom Clark, K3IO; Mark Hammond, N8MH; and Bruce Paige, KK5DO.
Further, up to two Alternate Directors may be elected for one-year terms.
A valid nomination for Director must be written and requires either one
Member Society or five current individual members in good standing to
nominate an AMSAT member. Written nominations, with the nominee?s name, call
sign, and contact information, as well as the nominators' names, call signs,
and contact information, should be sent to the AMSAT Secretary:
Brennan Price, N4QX
300 Locust St SE, Unit E
Vienna VA 22180-4869
brennanprice@???????.???
?
A copy should be sent to AMSAT Manager, Martha Saragovitz, at
martha@?????.???.
The AMSAT bylaws require that the nomination be written and in the form
specified by the Secretary. In light of the ongoing pandemic and the
resulting closure of the physical office, the Secretary has elected to
accept written nomination materials in electronic form, including e-mail or
electronic image of a paper document. Fax transmissions cannot be accepted
due to the closure of the office.
No matter what means are used, petitions MUST be received by the Secretary
no later than June 15th. The Secretary will verify the qualifications of
candidates and nominating members or Member Societies as petitions are
received, and will notify candidates whether their nominations are in order
by the end of June.
73,
Brennan Price, N4QX
Secretary, AMSAT
