SatPC32 is a Windows application. It doesn't run at all in DOS.

What would the group say is a fair price to pay for an 847 in really good
condition? I am working on a possible deal for one but I don't really want
to overpay for it.

Is anyone working AO-7B successfully? I am not hearing it and the Live OSCAR
Satellite Status Page is showing a variety of heard, not heard and
conflicting reports. It also appears to be randomly switching to mode A.
Does anyone have any info?

I have been told both by NASA and by ARISS officials that we should not expect
FM voice contacts this Field Day like we enjoyed last year.
BUT - You KNOW many are programmed for FM Voice for regions 1 and 2/3,
as well as Packet and SSTV - just in case something occurs ... Not necessarily
for FD points, but for the public relations value for visitors to Field Day
locations.

Its free to try it...couple of good US passes during Field Day.
Is the voice freq still split, with up 144.490 for US and 145.800 downlink?

Looks like there are only three folks on the ISS now:
Commander Gennady Padalka, RN3DT
Scott Kelly
Mikhail Kornienko, RN3BF
Kelly is not a ham, right? So since Field Day is a US/CA event mostly, it's
very unlikely the Russians will get on, right?
John Brier, KG4AKV, Raleigh, NC, FM05
P.S. I found this video of Astronaut Reid Wiseman talking about his field
day contacts from last year. One thing I found especially interesting is
that he said afterwards he got on for random contacts about once a week. I
didn't hear anyone reference this in previous correspondence on the topic.
[1] [2] It's always exciting to hear of increased possibilities.

Yes, it still is a split... RX: 145.800, TX 144.490. I also believe they
wont be making field day contacts, look here
http://www.ariss.org/current-status-of-iss-stations.html . Seems all radios
are not in use except one are being used to school contacts. Heres some

Hello,
I heard AO-7 mode B today at around 18:45, It was very warbly and weak. On
June 22 at 19:31 Mode B was not heard, but I heard the mode A beacon. It
seems to switch modes now between NA and SA, Because I will see people from
SA saying mode B is on than when it comes over NA, Mode A is on.. Seems it
not fully powering down in eclipses.

AO-7 is switching to Mode A or off when stations are overtaxing the
transponder with excessive uplink power, especially on CW. If you plan on
AO-7 for field day, plan on Mode A and have a backup.

A good deal is what it is worth to you. Look at Ebay for recent selling
prices. They vary pending condition, serial number and accessories.
Anything under $900 for a late model in pristine condition, working power
button, original box and accessories, no modifications, non-smoker etc. is
a good price.

It also seems like the past couple of days is when AO-7B really hasn't
been heard much. Perhaps the geomagnetic storms have been a factor
too.

Back in 2002 my FD ISS contact was with Valeri Korzun, RS0ISS, the ISS
Commander at the time. He handled the FD situation very well.
So, one never knows... Definitely worth a listen.
