Hi Richard,
I switched to using a Mac in my station a couple years ago when I
remembered that I had an old Mac Mini--so old that it could not even be
updated to the latest OSX. But what the heck, I tried it. I am using
MacDoppler to run both my tuning (IC9700 and before that a TS-2000) and my
rotator (G5500 with AMSAT LVB Interface). It works VERY well. I also like
that I can buy MacLogger and the two integrate so that I can log on
MacDoppler and it automatically gets the satellite, time, frequency, etc.
Don, at Dog Park Software gives excellent support and has helped me several
times. There are a few irritating things about the UI, but it is mostly
just a nice piece of software. And believe me, I don't intend to disparage
SatPC32 either. I also have that, used it for quite some time, and also
got used to its quirks just as I did with MD.
And yes, the Mac is not perfect--especially Apple is a real pain about Java
(for FoxTelem) but with my old Mac Mini, I don't have to worry about
updates :)

please re-publish it widely!

>From Bruce Perens K6BP: <https://perens.com/>
Michael Bretti is designing electric thrusters so that Amateur and
Educational microsatellites can maintain or change their orbits. Some of
his designs are small enough to work on a PocketQube
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PocketQube>, a satellite literally so small
that it fits in your pocket.
Michael has so far created several working thruster designs, as Open Source
Hardware. Below Michael's photo is his gridded pulsed plasma thruster
firing in a vacuum chamber he's put together in his home. And the photo
below that is another of his thruster designs being readied to fly as part
of the GENESIS N and L satellites
<http://perens.com/static/AppliedIon/AMSAT-EA-Newsletter_11-2019.pdf>.
That's his thruster between the two measuring tapes.
Michael calls his project Applied Ion Systems, and you can follow his work
at @??????????? <https://twitter.com/Applied_Ion> on Twitter.
I've been following Michael's work for about a year, and this is a
tremendously important project for Amateur and Educational satellites. It
will provide them with thrusters that are easily affordable on their slim
budgets, and allow them to maintain or change their orbits like the big
boys!
To test the thrusters, he uses a vacuum chamber that duplicates the *hard
vacuum* of low-earth orbit. Vacuum is hard, and hard vacuum is harder, and
hardly cheap. Due to his shoestring budget of literally pocket money - he
has no significant funding and works on his own time - Michael's work has
been plagued by failures of his roughing pump
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughing_pump>. That's a pump which creates
a medium vacuum and supports another pump that provides the space-quality
vacuum. He bought and attempted to rebuild a worn-out roughing pump - all
that he could afford - but this effort failed. Michael can't go on with
testing until he gets a reliable roughing pump. That would allow him to
move forward confidently in creating thrusters for our satellites. Michael
would like to buy an Edwards RV12, which is available for no more than
$4200 Please help to fund the new pump.
With the ability to achieve a space-quality vacuum again, Michael will
proceed with new designs. Not every one succeeds, because space is hard,
but enough do. You'll be able to watch his efforts and - soon enough -
perhaps you'll communicate through some of the satellites he supports.

You mean ME roving, or THEM roving? For me, I don't do it that often.
For the partner, I don't remember if you have to fill in the grid anyway,
or if it defaults to the grid in QRZ (where it does the callsign lookup).
But in any case, you can overwrite it.
I think I read that the most recent LOTW can deal better with a roving
logger, but I'm not sure if MacLogger has incorporated that yet. I'm sure
Don is thinking about it :-)
Oh, I just re-read. Do you mean a partner that is on a grid line/corner?
I don't go after grids that much, so I have not had this to worry about to
be honest. Sorry.

Ok ;
Now that I have your attention; I want this to be a positive thread. If
it goes somewhere it provides a selling tool for potential stakeholders,
donors, commercial entities, etc.
There are 3,440 members of AMSAT, not huge by any means. ARRL has
161,000 members.
Add some of the other groups, AMRAD, SVHFS, AMRAD, TAPR,? any others?
Sure there is some overlap, but those members will be more likely to
contribute.? How many would contribute to a GEO program? 35,000? if the
average were $300, if collected over 4 years, a small amount.
$10,500,000. The project would have to be well spelled out and provide
interest to a wide number of experimenters. The funds would have to be
earmarked for the project.
Can we leverage on huge success of the QO-100???
.............................
The Spacecraft; A commercial ride along. This would solve a lot of
problems such as:
1. Orbital Debris Mitigation
2. Solar Power
3. Redundancy
4. Thermal Control
5. Longevity
(Please feel free to add problems _solved_. Lets be positive for once)
...........................
The transponder:
1. Qatar-OSCAR 100 design sure seems achievable! It is proven to
Amateur and commercial community. When can we sign the order?
2. 2.4 GHz S band uplink 10 GHz X band downlink
3. Bent pipe VS digital argument:? Why not do both?? NB side stays
analog, WB side digital like P4XT proposal
.................
Who benefits:?
1. Most importantly, boomers like me who have SSB equipment need only
to build one or two transporters. Not really that hard.
2. Newbies techs who want to experiment and communicate digitally
3. SAR and EM teams can actually have 365/24/7 emergency satellite
transponders both analog and digital without the huge monthly outlay.
4. Universities, ARISS, etc can up link from LEO satellites and ISS via
OSCAR-2024 to simple ground stations. Uplink Doppler could be
controlled by having those space terminals monitor a polling/beacon
from a ground station and adjusting accordingly. Similarly
experiments deployed in jungles can use the satellite. With
coordination and MOU with Qatar-OSCAR 100, both satellites and
hemispheres could each benefit from a wider footprint of both
satellites.
5. AMSAT ARRL, AMRAD, SVHFS, AMRAD, TAPREtc through increased interest
in satellites, digital experimentation and ham radio in general
6. Commercial entities gaining recognition by providing in-kind
services. Elon Musk SpaceX, etc.
Who else benefits? Those who benefit will donate. Again _positive
_comments right now. Problems can be fixed later.

Note that you can go directly to Michael's website and donate via
PayPal, if you wish. Just adjust your donation up by 2.9% to cover the
fees that they charge him, which allows us to put more money in
Michael's engineering bucket and less into GoFundMe.
I think this project is awesome! Donated.

Does anyone know of an online support community or discussion group for
people playing around with the Linux version of WXtoImg? Are people talking
somewhere about receiving NOAA weather satellite images with Raspberry Pi
and an RTL-SER dongle? If so, where are they hiding???
Thanks in advance. 73

The /amateursatellites sub on Reddit normally has a fair bit of discussion
regarding this. W4AQT uses her Raspberry Pi and a NoElec dongle and a pair
of TV rabbit ears here that make a great dipole. Once it?s all set-up, the
entire process is quite automated.
