I regularly use AmsatDroid. HeavensAbove now has a very nice app that
tracks radio sats as well as shows upcoming Iridium flares, ISS passes and
nightly celestial events. SatelliteAR is another option.

In his own words in this video [1] you can hear Adrian Lane, 2E0SDR,
say he contacted the ISS "in October of last year."
I think everyone thought this happened in the last few weeks, even
AMSAT-UK who said he talked to Kjell Lindgren [2] who only just went
into space last month. I was really excited thinking Kjell was going
to be the next Doug Wheelock but now it seems this, at least, is not a
sign of that.
Why did this get all over the media *now* ?

I tried to close the "Satellite" dialog after I downloaded the nasa.all keps
and I get an error message (In German of course). Will look closer later
tonight. Maybe try and clear the keps out of the "Roaming\kepler" location
and trying again, or just downloading them manually from AMSAT.org and
adding it manually to the location. Any wisdom from the group?
Google translate of error message is Access violation at address 0041baae

Help.

Upgraded windows 8.1 laptop to win 10? this weekend. HRD and N3FJP logging
programs play ok? with FT847.
SAT32? rotor plays ok but radio is showing? up and down link frequencies in
reverse on FT 847.FO 29 example SAT32 says 435.850 in downlink box but the
FT847 shows 145.959 in the left window for down link.changing track to
reverse only last a few seconds then display reverts back. This condition
cropped up after win 10 upgrade. Now for the confusing part. I still worked
FO 29 stations even though the display said vhf lsb in the uplink?
SO whats happening, or any ideas on what I need to do to correct this issue?
Thanks

Good afternoon,
Congratulations to Jeff Lamb, NX9B, for working 73 different stations
on AO-73 since September 1, 2014 and becoming the 27th recipient of
the 73 on 73 Award.

Congratulations to all the award recipients!
I'd like to point out a couple of them. First, congrats to Hector on
the Century Award. The Century Award is tough enough to complete from
the East Coast of the United States, but Hector managed to complete it
from Cuba. He made many of these QSOs with homebrew equipment and had
the additional handicap of not being able to use AO-7's Mode B
transponder due to Cuban regulations, so he had to wait until FO-29
was near apogee on the right passes to make his longest distance QSOs.
Second, congratulations to Carl on the Sexagesimal Award. Like me, he
has operated solely with portable equipment and low power and he
appears to be on the way to beating my pace to the Century Award (it
took me 23 months from when I started getting on the air daily, Carl
has been on for only about a year).
73,
Paul, N8HM

Thanks Paul!
Actually, the AMSAT Century Award has been the hardest award in my amateur
radio career. The lack of AO-7 mode B made it even harder.
Thanks very much to all the operators who made it possible and special
thanks to the DX stations that accepted the challenge of an extreme QSO.
73!
Hector, CO6CBF/W5CBF

All is working well for the first day out. Thanks to John. The manual in
some areas is just a little lacking. I wish to thank ever one who offered a
helping had and I'm still not done. So I may be asking more questions. I
have to trick it out for my to way operate. That should not be much of a
problem.
Again thanks to all.

the power back ON for the rotator controller, it is possible to accurately
set NORTH by turning on power all the while holding the FUNCTION [F] button
depressed. The readout should then indicate "000 degrees", and tracking
should then occur properly. From there it is possible to rotate clockwise up
to 180 degrees, and also it is possible to rotate counter-clockwise up to
180 degrees from the North setting. One has to be careful, however, because
over-rotation beyond the 180 degrees either direction can occur.
