Hi Jerry. I may have come in to this discussion too late. I just remember
everyone telling which phone app they would use to track the birds. If you
want to see the AZ-EL of the Outernet bird at your location, and you have
SATPC32, it is a piece of cake. I used it to show me the bird with the exact
AZ-EL for my house. If you tell the program to give a preview of the orbit
and speed it up, it does a tiny figure eight dance at the equator, over a 12
hour time period. I'm currently getting between 4 and 10 dB SNR. I suspect
the signal varies when the sun moves behind the bird but also when Inmarsat
sends a lot of data down. Also, only after 4-5 days I get a great amount of
repeats of WIKI items. The software immediately show 100% for the file and
just waits until the bird sends something new. I think California took over
50 minutes! It seems to me the 4" X 4" patch antenna is looking slightly
east of where the bird should be located in azimuth.
73,
Rick WB3CSY

. I am able to connect to my computer and manage CAT functions and various
digital software programs without problems. But I was unable to get
sufficient audio stream via 9100 USB to my computer. After several online
conversations I bought a rigblaster advantage to handle such things and am
still having problems with setup. I now get good audio from the radio to
the computer and software, and PTT is handled just fine but I have no audio
RF out from the radio either from fldigi or wsjt. I have no idea what's
wrong. I think it may have to do with driver conflict as I initially tried
a Signalink so it installed drivers and of course the rigblaster did the
same, installing new sound drivers. It's interesting that if I choose the
USB codec in the software setup for sound in and out, which I believe is
actually what was installed by the signalink, the software radio connection
works but if I use the sound in and out labeled rigblaster advantage it
doesn't. I should add that none of the level controls on the RBA work
either even when I choose the USB audio codec as sound sources. Clearly I'm
doing something wrong but I can't sort it out. I never had so much trouble
getting digital mode software to work on a radio.
Frustrated,
Rick, W2JAZ

Hi,
With prospect of more satellites in the FUNcube fleet, we will be making
some changes to the hosting of the FC Data Warehouse.
Leading up to and during the Christmas period there may be some outages as
we do some migrations. The Dashboards will back-off and catch up when the
servers come back on line, at most 30 minutes each time but will probably
not be noticeable.
More details as they become available.
Many thanks as always to those who provide us with data.

Things have been getting snowy, windy and cold up here lately, but it
looks like the weather will be nice enough to squeeze in one more grid
expedition before winter really sets in. I'm hoping to cover 11 grids
in 3 days as follows (grids are listed in the order in which I hope to
activate them):
Day 1, Thursday Nov 24 (Thanksgiving): FN16, FN06 and EN96
Day 2, Friday Nov 25: FN07, EN97, EN98 and FN08
Day 3, Saturday Nov 26: FN17, FN18, FN19 and FN09
Note that 11 grids in 3 days means I won't be spending a lot of time in
any one grid. I'll try and operate from grid boundaries where
possible. This usually isn't a problem in summer, but when snow has
been plowed off the road then there often isn't room to pull over and
operate safely.
I will be posting tentative schedules shortly. Tentative because
everything depends on cooperation from the weather.
Hope to work you in a few days. Follow me on Twitter @xxxxxx for updates.
