I didn't mean for my original post to kick up any dust.  In hindsight, it
was a classic "Who Moved My Cheese?" moment.  Train a mouse to move through
a maze to find cheese, then move the position of the cheese, and the mouse
will become disoriented and panic at first.  In my case, I should have
played with the new system for a while before posting.  Many thanks to
those who passed on information about navigating the ADIF file generator
now.  Using TAB rather than ENTER, as I did previously, gets me down from
one entry line to another (ENTER no longer does, at least on my PC).  Also,
the elimination of "Phone," replaced by a number of voice modes, really
does make a lot of sense.  I miss what are probably the most common linear
satellite modes, CW and now SSB, being at the top of the Mode list, but as
someone pointed out, they are findable fairly quickly by typing in "C" or
"S" first.  I have no trouble using LOTW at this point (I really need to
get a logging program, though!), and my CW and SSB contacts are matching on
LOTW just as they should be.  I appreciate the coders' ongoing efforts to
tweak LOTW and made it better over time.  In the future, I just need to
remember not to panic when the cheese gets moved once again.

You should see the dumb logging solution that I am using.... I too need to

Don,

My point is that there are several differences across the application
with the terminology of the same Mode. It can be confusing to members
that are not frequent users.

It should be OK to mention something that is factually true. I have no
problem using LoTW and appreciate the efforts that the League and its
volunteers put forth for our benefit. It would be wonderful if more Hams
would make use of it for confirmations. Of the 250,000 Q's I have in there,
there are only about 1/3 that have been confirmed.

I normally use a browser, but I do have the Amazon app on my phone.  Note
that it is rather hidden on the app.  On the app, press the three horizontal
bars in the upper left corner for the main menu.  Then under "Programs and
Features", select "See All Programs".  Then scroll down to "AmazonSmile"
(not in alphabetical order).

It's been in Facebook and on Twitter.  Maybe I said something here a few
days ago.  In any case, its battery is having trouble keeping it running
through eclipses.  It then goes into auto-safe mode.  There is apparently a
bug in the software that I wrote for the Foxes so that under some
circumstances it "forgets" that it went into safe automatically and stays
in safe mode even when the voltage comes back up after it enters the  sun.
In that case we have to wait for a command station to re-enable it.  This
is not too tenable over the long run, so I'm not sure what the ops people
plan to do.  It would be nice if the batteries failed open so it worked
reliably in sun like AO-7.  Unfortunately, that did NOT happen with AO-85.
We'll see with 92.

it's not up yet.  Besides, the paper cards are nice-looking.  Christy,

I've mostly been posting about it on Twitter.

AO-92 has a cell that's failing, and towards the end of many eclipses it
goes into auto-safe mode at 3.6v. If the battery drops low enough the IHU
resets, and it comes back up in normal safe mode. Mark and I have been
commanding to repeater mode on the first available pass after the resets,
but it's not a long term sustainable answer. Last night Mark commanded the
transmitter completely off while we consider a plan of action.

Leaving autosafe on and the tx off, we may be able to turn the repeater on
ad-hoc for weekends or such, completely dependent on command station
availability. Turning autosafe and the IHU off like we did with AO-85 will
kill the satellite pretty quickly, so that's not a good response either. So,
we'll look at resets and battery states before this weekend and see where we
stand.

Just wondering why AO-92 is failing so much quicker than AO-85. AO-85
lasted about 4 years in space till it went silent / started having battery
issues. AO-92 has only been in space for about 2 and 3/4 years.



AO-91 seems to be doing okay. Or at least I haven't seen anyone talking
about it going into safemode. And I haven't heard it in safemode.

Drew, would it be possible that if you are able command it back on an ad-hoc
basis it could be commanded into L/V mode for those sessions? There are
plenty of U/V opportunities up there for anyone already.
