To clarify exactly what a high power TX station needs to send is say 30
copies of the APRS grid format in a single burst IE send this to the TNC
every minute:
>GG##gg<CR>
>GG##gg<CR>
>GG##gg<CR>
>GG##gg<CR>
...
>GG##gg<CR>
>GG##gg<CR>
The TNC will concatenate probably seven to ten of these at a timel into
dense packets with only a single TX delay, not 30 delays.
The TNC has UNPROTO set to simply "APRS" no path! And set to CONVErSE..
Adjust the number (30?) till the TX burst lasts 15 seconds each minute.
The result is a complete grid in only 200 milliseconds each. Hopefully
short enough so that occasionally one will get bounced somewhere by the
extremely short meteor path bursts at VHF.
Point beam to a high ham population density at least 600 miles away.
Vertical or Horizontal will work.
This will take special software for the 15 TX stations. (METEOR-1
through METEOR-15)
RX stations need nothing special. Any APRS software should capture and
decode and plot a grid report if received overnight. All of this on the
national channel 144.39 from midniight to 6 AM local time
Here is the report form 1998 event

Howdy, Tony.
Did it ever work just fine for you and it has just started acting up? I
can't remember what my issues were anymore with 9700. Icom 9100 never ever
work either. So I abandoned HRD Sat software period.

All:
I've been having an issue with HRD's tracking software and the IC-9700.
The problem is that the Doppler correction loses it's connection with
the rig. I've noticed that the manual tuning becomes ghosted when this
happens and the only remedy is to restart the tracking program.
The odd thing is that HRD rig control does not lose it's connection with
the rig so it would seem there's an issue with the tracker.
Anyone experiencing this problem?
Tony

It's the first time using HRD with a new IC-9700. I don't recall having
this issue with the TS-2K I had years ago. I'll see what the folks at
HRD have to say.

I can?t help here as I use Direwolf 1.5 to send packets from UISS to the ACC

Hats off to you and the team, Frank. Keeping anything going for 20 years is
an achievement, doing so while navigating multiple international government

Thanks Frank, for spearheading this and showing the world what amateur

All:
I'm configuring the Satpc32 demo version and can't seem to get the
program to us my location as the default observer. I tried setting up my
QTH as the #2 observer, but the AOS and other orbital parameters are not
correct.
When the demo version opens, you have to set your coordinates which I
did many times, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Tony,
That?s part of the demo version. You will need to upgrade to the paid
version to keep it on your QTH.
It?s worth the investment.
